Who said, "They dress like Tarzan, have hair like Jane and smell like Cheetah," and who was he talking about?

Ronald Reagan and he was talking about Hippies! http://the-lazyg.com/Quotes.html Jun 19 09, 3:49 PM

You can always tell who's for or against freedom, niceness and other righteous notions simply by analysing their attitude towards our fellow hominids. Religious nutters hate them because of the hellspawn Charles Darwin, with whose Bible-melting theories they remain locked in fierce combat. And Ronald Reagan, back in his California governor days - before the media went all amnesiac and soft-focus on him - thus mocked the insurgent hippies of Berkeley: "They dress like Tarzan, have hair like Jane, and smell like Cheeta." That's actually one of Reagan's better lines, because, well, a lot of those hippies were pretty smelly. Still, it was a bit rich coming from the star of 1951's Bedtime For Bonzo, in which the future President tried teaching human morality to a primate. The film's real star was Bonzo, not Ronzo. Bonzo - played by Tarzan's uncredited sidekick Cheeta - was on the up-and-up, busily shoving Francis The Talking Mule back into his stable, while Reagan, his movie career on the skids, was already sliding into far-right politics. http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2008/jul/26/1 Jun 19 09, 6:28 PM
