i'll admit, i heard about the reagan diaries this morning but didn't really care until i saw yr "ronald reagan teabags prince charles" slug, and i had to bite. i figured it had something to do with a real teabag, but i was really hoping for the metaphorical.
i also like the way the washington post explained that reagan self-censored even mild profanities ("H---!"). at first glance it seemed a little strange, seeing as how the wapo was the only paper that i'm aware of that printed dick cheney's uncensored f-bomb directed @ sen. leahy on the senate floor a couple of years ago...
Strains in Reagan's relationship with his children punctuate the diaries....He'd been rude to Nancy on a phone call...Nancy seems to bear the brunt of it.
