That said, there's a lot about it (including the notable absence of the Reagans) that makes me more than willing to sell my castle to anyone who thinks this thing is for real.

I was kinda thinking that too. Even though there are other "recollections" out there that more or less imply the same observations about these individuals, the thing that I question most would be that a current or former Secret Service agent would freely discuss these things. I guess it just seems to me that part of their "oath of office" would be that they never reveal anything about the people they are protecting or things they have seen.

Not to mention that it's not like the SAME secret service personnel protect each President and his family. For something like this to be true, me thinks you'd have to get a lot of SS folks on the protection detail to talk. It seems like an obvious ploy by the Republican party to paint Republicans as good and Democrats as bad, thereby helping whomever gets the GOP nomination.
