but I didn’t much like President Bush’s eulogy. The best example of the kind of false note he struck was the following line: “He believed that bigotry and prejudice were the worst things a person could be guilty of.” I doubt that Reagan believed that proposition, and if he had, his holding of that view would not have been praiseworthy. I am sure, on the other hand, that Bush believes this proposition, or thinks that he does.
