Although John McCain continues to battle himself for the Republican nomination, the news today should help a little bit. Nancy Reagan, the somehow-still-alive widow of famous ghost Ronald Reagan, will endorse him tonight at her fat cat home in California. As you may have heard, John McCain was a foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution, the legacy of which includes a soaring federal budget, entrenched partisanship, and Mitt Romney. And this is why some president's wife will be endorsing John McCain tonight, in Outer Space. [Jonathan Martin]

Alright -- McCrone's got the Nosferatu demographic sewn up.
This would be 'endorsing the cemetary' or possibly the reverse.
So Grandma Reagan's finally come around. The reaction of the base to this will be the Republican equivalent to some guy hitching up his pants, saying "alright" and doing some hard-ass job he's been putting off for weeks.
At first I thought: it would be in bad taste to make a joke about Nancy Reagan's astrologer telling her that John McCain had Cancer in Retrograde, but then I thought: Aw... fuck it!
Jeez...I know Ron Paul was really hoping for her support.
Don't say anything bad about her or O'Reilly will compare you to Hitler.
I hear the one-foot-in-the-grave demographic is very hot these days.
Sadly,this matters to the Rethuglicans.I mean after all this is the wife of the man who defeated the Commie Martians with his awesome Tron weapons in Outer Space.
You know how if you make a joke about a long-forgotten celebrity, people go "He/she is still alive?" and they mean it as a joke.
Well that's not what happened here....
...am I the only one that is reminded of "Weekend at Bernies" every time I see this woman?
@SayItWithWookies:
Awesome.
Remember back when she was vilified for only caring about fashion and flaunting such expensive dresses for a First Lady while the country was in a recession? How she had an astrologer in the White House? Her only platform was laughably bad Just Say No.
Now her opinion actually matters. Life sure is weird.
Separated at birth:

Best endorsement in Hollywood.
@queeraselvis: First we vote, and then we die. Or is it the other way around?
And were we expecting her to go for Obama? Talk about non-news.
well at least the campaign commercials for the Defeatocrats will write themselves: John McCain {voiceover of Saint Nancy}: Just say no.
@Pop Socket: I thought she would go for Hillary so I guess the joke's on me.
@san antone rose: Judging from some of our local (Tennessee) politicians, death never stood in the way of someone voting.
This is evidence that they're STILL worried about Ron Paul.
I'm tired of hearing about Saint reagan. He was a puppet of union busting corporate thugs and hero of the "we're tired of hearing you Vietnam Veterans whining" crowd. Nancy was Marie Antoinette. Period.
This has Tuesday Night Takedown written all over it.
You think I'd make O'Reilly or Little Green Footballs as "hate speech" on a "hate site" if I said I wish she would die?
The Kitty Kelly bio of Nancy is hilarious. Little-known facts:
--After his marriage to Jane Wyman fell apart, Ronnie was enjoying being a Hollywood playboy, but Nancy tricked him into marrying her by getting herself knocked up.
--Nancy was known for giving great blow jobs.
--Nancy always hated her gams cuz they looked like piano legs. And they really did. We're not talking spinet. At least a baby grand. Big and square, no shape to them at all.
--When Nancy thought Don Regan was dragging Ronnie down, she called him every day and said, "Oh, Don, are you still here?"
To the best of my knowledge, there's only one person older than Ronnie's Edgar Bergen, and that's McCain's batty old mom. I suppose the Republican's will have an orgasm over her endorsement of Johnny, too.
Ferd:
Thanks. Now I LOVE Nancy.
My favorite is their daughter Patti Davis, who wrote cheesy S&M-tinged romance novels and posed for Playboy. Where's her endorsement?
Jonathan Martin's illustration makes him look like he's sitting on the racetrack fence, taking a crap.
Nancy Reagan watched with hawkish intensity as three tarot cards were slowly turned over before her. First...the loose-jointed Negro Deceiver. Then...the pant-suited Vengeful Liar. Finally...the clearly-disoriented Ancient Warmonger. "Well, the cards have spoken" sighed the wife of America's former Worst President Ever, "and of these three I have no choice but to pick the one that nauseates me the least." The red-dressed crone perused the cards carefully before selecting the Ancient Warmonger. "Yes...he will do, he is the one who can carry on Ronnie's tradition of colonial exploitation and domestic race-baiting..."
The best thing actor Ronald McReagan ever did was those Star Wars flicks. And that isn't saying much.
