Given the choice between Clinton and Bushes, I will still choose Clinton.
Given the choice between Bush Jr. and Gore, Dean, and other clowns among Dems, I will choose Bush Jr.

The key problem with using this joke with Regan or either of the Bushs' is the last part:

I have served under both Bushs' and under Clinton. Times were FAR better with the Bushs' than with Clinton and I certianly would not have acted this way (as well as a VAST majority of the soldiers I knew).
