Actually, during a dispute over whether the other Republican primary candidates could participate in what was supposed to have been a one-on-one between Reagan and Bush in 1980, he yelled "I'm paying for this microphone, Mr. Green!" at the moderator. Whose actual name was
Breen.
Plus, you forgot to mention how goofy Michael "Michael" Dukakis looked in that tank in 1988. What a loser.
