During last night’s GOP debate, Mitt Romney attempted to minimize Newt Gingrich’s connection to President Reagan:
“I looked at the Reagan diary. You’re mentioned once in Ronald Reagan’s diary. And in the diary, he says you had an idea in a meeting of young congressmen, and it wasn’t a very good idea and he dismissed it. That’s the entire mention.”
But the former Speaker is in good company. The Reagan-Mentioned-Me-Once-in-His-Diary Club includes lots of big names. For example, Drew Barrymore!“Out on the South Lawn a ceremony recognizing the Young Astronauts program. Little Drew Barrymore — the child in “E.T.” — was one of the children. She’s a nice little person.”
10 Other People Ronald Reagan’s Diary Only Mentions Once also includes Pat Riley, Harry Caray, the A-Team and Muhammad Ali, who gave the president an autographed Muslim prayer book, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt Reagan was a closet Muslim terrorist hell-bent on America’s destruction. Right?
