...Bush, Regan remarked to the Vice President, "You and I have to cut out this feuding." Bush asked what it was they were feuding about. "I'm not sure over what, but it's in the paper," said Regan. Later, visiting Reagan in his hospital bed, Regan told him, "Mr. President, you've got to tell George to stop picking on me," before showing Reagan the story and assuring him that there was nothing to it.
