"My fellow Ameicans I'm pleased to tell you I just signed legislation which outlaws Russia forever. The bombing begins in five minutes." Ronald Reagan, said by the US President during a microphone test in 1984."
This was placed under "Gaffes, blunders and embarrassing words" on a web site. Odd, I thought. It was one of the bravest, most pertinent, effective and funniest quotes in the history of politics but, a blunder? No, not even close.
