Reagan's former staff says Bush is no Reagan

The pain just keeps coming and coming (thanks to Buzzflash for finding this NYT article)...

Mr. Bush's effort to wrap himself in the Reagan legacy drew plenty of skeptics, including a number of top Reagan officials, who said, all anonymously, that the presidencies could not have been more different. Mr. Reagan was pragmatic, they said, but Mr. Bush is ideological. Mr. Reagan was a unifier, they argued, while Mr. Bush has polarized.

'Bush wants to defeat his opponents, Reagan wanted his to join him,' one former official of the Reagan White House said.
