Old Reagan line... "A recession is when your neighbor loses his job.
A depression is when you lose yours.
And a recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his."

[BluesDuke]

I remember that one. But I also remember, a short time before that campaign, George Will writing a line in a column that is, unfortunately, still too damn much the truth: Today's conservative has reached into his heart of hearts, prayed hard, and decided it was high time the government cut his neighbour's benefits.

A Reagan gem, from the time he was one of the roasters when they decided to let George Burns have it:

This Bionic Geriatric...George Burns is the only man I know who does fool Mother Nature. George, I have to tell you that you're Nancy's favourite singer. I also have to tell you Margaret Truman was her favourite piano player. Last night I thought she was listening to one of your records, but it turned out it was a spoon stuck in the garbage disposal.
