Did you just sleep right through the 80s, Fred?

"What we have found in this country, and maybe we're more aware of it
now, is one problem that we've had, even in the best of times, and
that is the people who are sleeping on the grates, the homeless who
are homeless, you might say, by choice." -- Reagan explaining away
the failure of his Voodoo Economics

"You'd be surprised how much being a good actor pays off." -- on his
qualifications to be President

"You sonofabitch, you broke my rib." -- to the Secret Service agent
who pushed him into the limousine after John Hinckley's attack

"In spite of the wildly speculative and false stories of arms for
hostages and alleged ransom payments, we did not -- repeat did not --
trade weapons or anything else for hostages; nor will we."

"If the question comes up at the Tower Board meeting, you might want
to say that you were surprised." -- Reagan fucking up and reading his
stage directions aloud in his testimony before the Tower Commission,
where he reverses himself and specifically admits having approved the
sale of arms to a terrorist nation in order to illegally fund
drug-running guerrilla forces in Nicaragua

"My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed
legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five
minutes."

Then there's Joan Quigley, the official White House astrologer who
for eight years divined the timing for every important event in
Reagan's itinerary -- press conferences, Air Force One departures,
even international summits.

And let's not forget the man's obsession with invasion by space
aliens:

"[H]ow easy [Gorbachev's] task and mine might be in these meetings
that we held if suddenly there was a threat to this world from some
other species from another planet outside in the universe. We'd
forget all the little local differences that we have between our
countries ..."

Mikhail Gorbachev in 1987 -- "At our meeting in Geneva, the U.S.
President said that if the earth faced an invasion by
extraterrestials, the United States and the Soviet Union would join
forces to repel such an invasion. I shall not dispute the hypothesis,
though I think it's early yet to worry about such an intrusion..."

If the Earth were under attack from an external threat, "Don't you
think the United States and the Soviet Union would be together?" --
Reagan to Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnatze at a luncheon
in the White House

"I've often wondered, what if all of us in the world discovered that
we were threatened by an outer -- a power from outer space, from
another planet. Wouldn't we all of a sudden find that we didn't have
any differences between us at all, we were all human beings, citizens
of the world, and wouldn't we come together to fight that particular
threat?"
