I've been living a lie all my life.

I constantly looked for motherly protection.

My father, Ronald Reagan, held the presidency in such honor and reverence that he was never in the Oval Office without a coat and tie. Bill Clinton has such disrespect for the presidency that he was often in the Oval Office without his pants. Behold the leader of 'the most ethical administration in history'.

I didn't feel I belonged in so perfect a family.

I didn't spend much time with my parents when I was growing up.

Dad sometimes patted me on the knee and called me his Little Schmuck.

It was my sister Maureen who was responsible for my becoming a Reagan.
