1984: Reagan and that the joke about bombing Russia……

August 11, 2017 by Silvio Canto Jr.   

On this day in 1984, President Reagan was testing his microphone for a Saturday radio speech and said this:

    “My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you today that I’ve signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.”

The reaction was predictable.   The Democrats thought that it was so “un-presidential”.    (Where have we heard that before?)
