Knowing how bitter, liberal, anti-Bush, anti-conservative and spoiled he's seemed over the years, I also took it as a direct slam at Bush.

Sad to say and sadder to see that the son of such a legend of a man can't hold a candle to his awesome father. I also thought that reference was completely inappropriate.

This is an excerpt from a pretty rough article about him.. from Salon.com

Reagan Blasts Bush

Reagan blasts Bush

"My father crapped bigger ones than George Bush," says the former president's son, in a flame-throwing conversation about the war and the Bush administration's efforts to lay claim to the Reagan legacy.

April 14, 2003 | The Bush inner circle would like to think of George W.'s presidency as more of an extension of Ronald Reagan's than of his one-term father's. Reagan himself, who has long suffered from Alzheimer's disease, is unable to comment on those who lay claim to his political legacy. But his son, Ron Jr., is -- and he's not pleased with the association.

"The Bush people have no right to speak for my father, particularly because of the position he's in now," he said during a recent interview with Salon. "Yes, some of the current policies are an extension of the '80s. But the overall thrust of this administration is not my father's -- these people are overly reaching, overly aggressive, overly secretive, and just plain corrupt. I don't trust these people."
