Er, if Reagan actually said it then surely it's a true quotation?



But it was originally presented here without the context, as if it was a

I don't think anyone is stupid enough to not know that it was meant to
be a joke, so dishonest of you maybe to say that it somehow doesn't
count as something he said.

The point is it was an astonishingly crass joke to make during the cold
war. An incredibly poor joke to make at any time, like 'kill a few

"What did it say?"

"It said United States Soviet Socialist Republic"

Reagan did not quite know what to make of this, but felt somehow he had
been slighted.

A year later the US were hosting a summit.

Reagan had a chat with Gorby, and said:

"You remember what you said about dreams last time we met?"

"I remember" says Gorby.

"Well, I had a dream the other night, and I saw a Red Flag flying from
the roof of the Kremlin!"

"A *Red* flag Mr President?"

"Yes a Red Flag... and it had gold writing on it as well!"

"What did the writing say Mr. President"

"Hell don't know, I don't read Chinese!"

I remember this pearl from Reagan:

"My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that
I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever.
We begin bombing in five minutes."

Reagan (not my favourite president) said this as a joke off-air
when testing the sound system.
It was never broadcast.

It's slightly dishonest to give it as a Reagan quote.

Er, if Reagan actually said it then surely it's a true quotation?



But it was originally presented here without the context, as if it was a
true statement, instead of a rather good joke for the entertainment of
the press corps.

Much like all those people who quote Mrs T when she said "there is no
such thing as society"...

She said it, but out of context it takes on a completely different
meaning from how it was being used at the time.

I like it :)

Has the whiff of urban myth about it though...

I wouldn't be so sure of that!
