From the Dish’s “quote for the day.”

“When I heard about Eisenhower’s presidential accomplishments—holding down the national debt, keeping inflation in check, and fighting for balanced budgets—it hit me that we’d clearly gotten their names mixed up at some point. I couldn’t believe we’d been associating terms like ‘visionary,’ ‘principled,’ and ‘bold’ with President Reagan. That wasn’t him at all—that was Ike. We deeply regret misattributing such a distinguished and patriotic legacy to Mr. Reagan. We really screwed up,” – Reince Priebus, new RNC Chair
