Skip Allen tells a bit T.M.I. about his favorite president, Ronald Reagan

His favorite was President Ronald Reagan, a jovial man who always said hello, had a story to tell and did not take himself too seriously.

Late in the evening of his Jan. 20, 1981, inaugural, Mr. Reagan's signature was needed on a document, so Mr. Allen hurried upstairs to see the new president. He stood and waited while the president, dripping from a shower, wiped off his hand and wrote his name.

Less than an hour later, Mr. Allen had to obtain the president's signature again on another document. This time, Nancy Reagan answered the door and the president emerged from his dressing room wearing his underwear.

"Oh, Ronnie, put on a robe," Mrs. Reagan said. The president demurred, saying, "That's all right. He's already seen me naked."

That is a funny story.

I wonder what kind of agreement these people sign and how they can get out of that agreement to write books.

I wonder that too. I wonder if you have to sign a new agreement, saying you'll print only favorable stuff.

The only agreement like this that I was aware of was the one between Faux News and the Republic Party...
