Heads exploding at Yahoo. I just went there to check my AT@T mail and

[monmouth]

there is an article "Liberal activist, Jane Fonda, to play Nancy Reagan in film" OMG...The world is coming to an end. Of course Jane is the perfect fit, there are two photos of the two of them next to each other and with some makeup tweaking there is a striking similarity. This is considered and deemed unimaginable. There is a vote there if you care to give it a shot. Jane needs some love...Bwahahaha...

[Walk away]

1. Can Sean Penn play Ronnie Rayguns! I really hope so! nt

[Ken Burch]

22. George Clooney could pull off Ronnie better, though.

Sean Penn I can see playing Alexander Haig, perhaps.

Who would we cast as Don Regan?

[klook]

26. Mackle Mower, of course!

It'd complete tha commaniss trifecta!!

[onethatcares]

50. to play ronnie, it would have to be

a wooden dummie with a stick up its ass connected to its mouth.

No live actor need apply.

[aquart]

2. Now that is delicious. Gorgeous Jane playing scrawny Nancy.

Wonder if this is Nancy's fantasy come true.

[arcane1]

3. Here's the photo (if this works)

5. Jane is beautiful. n/t

[robinlynne]

17. I was wondering how they could look similar. but I see what you mean. Really I think its just

the same lipstick color.....

[dmr]

4. Too funny. I'm going to enjoy this!

Who's playing Bozo?

[monmouth]

7. The article is below. No mention as to Ronnie at this point..

[dmr]

11. That looks like it's going to be a good movie.

I bet that man knows a lot of secrets. Thanks for the link.

[louis-t]

12. Ha! You mean Bonzo?

Giggety.

[dmr]

15. Giggety!

[Ken Burch]

32. "giggety"? y'know, you're right...THIS GUY could play Ronnie:

[louis-t]

43. "Hey Meg, you 18 yet?"

"No."
"Ohhhhhraaaaght."

[cliffordu]

23. grantcart, last I looked.

[hay rick]

29. GWB

The Chimpster- still sitting on Ronnie's knee.

[mbuch64]

39. bonzo?

Why not let dubya try his hand at acting. He's been out of the limelight for a while and I'm sure he has to be craving some attention.

[Possumpoint]

6. I Won't Watch It

I don't care what anybody says, Hanoi Jane was a traitor to this country when she visited North Vietnam and allowed herself to be photographed by the VC manning an anti aircraft gun. She turned in one of the POW's for trying to pass her a note to his family. All of this while our men were dying and fighting them. I marched in opposition to the Vietnam war but what she did went beyond the pale.

I turn my back on her. She is a non person in my book.

[dixiegrrrrl]

10. Snopes says that story is FALSE.

http://www.snopes.com/military/fonda.asp

[Possumpoint]

13. Okay

I heard wrong on the passing the note. Doesn't change my opinion of her. She gave comfort and aid to the enemy and the only thing that saved her sorry "A" is that Nixon was trying to wind down our war efforts.

[Crowman1979]

16. Well if that's the case, then why aren't you giving Rumesfeld the same treatment?

I mean, he was also giving comfort and aid to the enemy as well:

[Old and In the Way]

19. It was people like Fonda who had the courage to speak out and focus the public

on what was happening in VietNam. In addition to the 50.000+ American lives that were lost, 5-6MM So and No Vietnamese died. Millions more injured. At what point do you say enough is enough? And what would you do to help bring it to an end?

[WillyT]

25. I'm Sorry... But In THAT WAR...WHO... Exactly... Was The Enemy ???

[rfranklin]

31. Know your history numbnuts...we lost another 20,000 soldiers because of Nixon's machinations...

The evidence of Nixon’s sabotage of the 1968 Vietnam peace talks is now overwhelming – including diplomatic cable traffic and contemporaneous audiotapes of Johnson discussing the Republican promises to South Vietnamese President Nguyen van Thieu of a better deal if he boycotted negotiations in Paris.

http://consortiumnews.com/2011/11/11/richard-nixons-darkest-secret/

[truedelphi]

34. What? We had an undeclared war going on -

And it was so unpopular even among the troops that a popular past time among both the enlisted men and draftees was to off their commanding officers.

Not only that, but the Big Companies getting the Defense moulah for war contracts made shitty equipment. The Army offered its GI's metal detectors with which they could go out into the open fields and hunt around for explosives and mines (Items that were made out of plastic.)

Like Iraq, it was an entire war fought without anything resembling a strategy. Except of course, those with the connections got the Defense contracts and made a whole pile of profit for themselves and their families.

At the time, Jane Fonda was the least of the American public's problems. Though the RW loved to be hating on her.

[Ken Burch]

36. There was no excuse for Nixon NOT to end the war on Inauguration Day, 1969

Nixon(like everyone else)already knew the war was a dead loss by then. It was bad enough that so many died before 1969, but everyone, American and Vietnamese, who died in the war after that date died for no reason.

It's the people who got us into that war and kept us there that you should hate...not Jane Fonda. All she was trying to do was to get the killing stopped.

[newspeak]

44. yeah, let's not mention the phoenix project

over two million vietnamese were killed and over fifty thousand american soldiers. For what? The CIA took out the democratically elected vietnamese leader and put their own corrupt puppet in. And we ran with the "communism" scare card.

[Cirque du So-What]

14. You're repeating a specious claim made in RW e-mailings

when you claim that she ratted out a soldier who passed her a note.

http://www.snopes.com/military/fonda.asp

Soldiers who were there insisted it just wasn't true - even the ones mentioned in those RW e-mailings.

FWIW, I'm not enamored of her trip to North Vietnam either, but here's hoping that I broke at least one link in the chain of an utterly false RW smear.

[bongbong]

18. Uh OH!!

You outed yourself! I guess your hatred of Fonda overcame your orders to "carefully infiltrate DU"

[Tx4obama]

40. It is going to be an awesome film about the life of Eugene Allen, it's not a Reagan film.

Please see comment #37

[AlbertCat]

41. Hanoi Jane was a traitor

Oh Puleeze!

It's Jane Fonda.... not Henry Kissinger.

[newspeak]

45. yeah, I'm with you on kissenger

to me, he's got so much blood on his hands.

[gratuitous]

47. Bwahahahaha!

Man, I haven't heard that in YEARS! Still knee-slappingly funny in its ignorance, like a Colbert bit on his show. Unless, of course, you were serious.

[datasuspect]

49. if Hanoi Jane was a traitor

then John Wayne was a Nazi, who like to play SS.

[GardeningGal]

8. That will be interesting to watch! nt

[Cirque du So-What]

9. K & R for wingnut heads exploding

which in their case amounts to a mere flesh wound.

[southernyankeebelle]

20. I think Jane Fonda will do her justice. Jane is a pro

[TBF]

21. Hilarious!

[riverbendviewgal]

24. Just had an email from my bubba brother

He hates Jane Fonda and is having a fit. I love her and my late husband told me I looked like her. I am so happy to hear she is playing Nancy.....Love it!!!!

[LynneSin]

27. Julianne Moore is has spoken on the behalf of Planned Parenthood...

and she played Sarah Palin

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

28. I think Paul Reubens (aka Pee Wee Herman) should play Ronald Reagan

Pee Wee Herman would bring a special verve to the role of the jelly bean eating, often childlike demeanor of Reagan. The oval office could be like Pee Wee's playhouse, with Pee Wee Reagan calling up Gorbachev on the red phone to make jokes about bombing Russia and he could have a line up of kooky regulars in the Playhouse, like the official White House astrologer.

[Go Vols]

48. +1

[EC]

30. I figured this would

happen and said so at work today while reading the article, having a good laugh.

[madrchsod]

33. i`m sure ron jr and pattie approve of jane portraying their mother

i`m not sure how lucid nancy is but i think she either approved or would approve.

fuck the dumb ass reagan worship. he was an old man that the bush crime family picked to act as the president of the usa.

[ThomThom]

35. doesn't seem like a good idea

Last edited Tue Mar 27, 2012, 10:23 PM - Edit history (1)

people that love Nancy will not want to pay to see Jane as Nancy and people that love Jane might not want go to a movie with her playing Nancy Reagan so no big box office
but I got a good laugh about the heads exploding

edited for clarity after reading response and other post

[Tx4obama]

38. It is not a Reagan movie. Please see comment #37 n/t

[Tx4obama]

37. The film 'The Butler' will focus on the life of Eugene Allen, NOT the Reagans. See below

There are links to FOUR Washington Post articles regarding Eugene Allen on this link: http://www.democraticunderground.com/101621391

Seeing the story of Eugene Allen's life on film is going to be fascinating!

[Ken Burch]

42. If the Nancy thing doesn't come through, Jane could still play Phyllis Schlafly

Check our Jane's look in that Lindsay Lohan movie she co-starred in a few years ago:



You'd just need to leather up her face and it'd be perfect.

[GoCubsGo]

46. Did you take a shower after visiting the Yahoo comments?

That place is so full of right-wing sock puppets, they could corner the manure market with all the bullshit that gets spewed there. They rival the FoxNews comments for the level of vileness.
