Interesting tidbit about then President Bush being irked about Kemp going off on tangents.
I think it had to do more with Bush maybe not understanding it, and why the Bushes wound up doing more damage to the Republican Party name, than Kemp ever could have done.
Yeah, the press had to come up with something negative to say. They couldn't let the passing of a great conservative like Kemp go by without degrading him in some way. Actually, I would take it as a compliment since Bush 41 was the anti-Reagan.
