"an amiable dunce."
--Clark Clifford (former Defense Secretary), describing Reagan at a Georgetown party, 1981
"Poor dear, there's nothing between his ears."
--British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, speaking to one of her officials about Reagan, cited by Peter Jenkins, Mrs. Thatcher's Revolution
"...like reinventing the wheel."
--Larry Speakes (Reagan's former press secretary) describing what it was like preparing the President for a press conference, Speaking Out: The Reagan Presidency from Inside the White House
"The task of watering the arid desert between Reagan's ears is a challenging one for his aides."
--Columnist David Broder, "A Sorry Display of Ignorance", Washington Post, September 1, 1985
"What do you do when your President ignores all the palpable, relevant facts and wanders in circles?"
