CORRECTION & BACKFILL: THE “OOPS ! THERE IT IS “ EDITION
POLITICO REPORTS THAT NANCY REAGAN NEVER ENDORSED HILLARY CLINTON
NEWS REPORT OF THAT AS A “FACT” WAS A COMPLETE HOAX — DRUDGE REPORT NEVER CARRIED SUCH A STORY — BLOOMBERG NEWS ADMITS ERROR IN REPEATING STORY AND APOLOGIZES
THERE WAS NO INTERVIEW OF NANCY REAGAN BY RON REAGAN, Jr., ON ANY HISTORY CHANNEL SERIES “FIRST LADIES IN THEIR OWN WORDS”
According to a report in Politico, the source of the false report/hoax was “... NationalReport.net, a spoof news site that has tricked many a politician and news organization in the past. The piece was then posted to a website called DrudgeReport.com.co, which doesn't seem to be connected to the actual Drudge Report. *** The piece, which was published just before 5 p.m. on Friday, was deleted within minutes (See “Bloomberg falls for fake Nancy Reagan report” by Hadas Gold, 4/10/15, Politico/ Dylan Byers on Media [http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2015/04/bloomberg-falls-for-fake-nancy-reagan-report-205356.html]).

But the real sadness to this story is how your local GOP readers rushed to condemn Nancy Reagan by calling her "a left wing commie" and quickly denigrating her cognitive abilities. Making fun of her seeking out psychics in her old age, etc. It exemplifies the complete lack of loyalty the Republican Party has - you throw someone under the bus in an Irish heartbeat.
But the Bobby DiNiro endorsement was real!

Oh my Goodness! It is all Hillary all day - nonstop coverage! Forget Mass today folks - you don't want to miss a thing. And the announcement is at 12:00 noon - the pews for hear the adult choir will be empty . . . This must be what our parents felt on the day John Fitzgerald Kennedy son of Erin was elected to the presidency - or at least close to it.

Gail,
The two comments above are probably from the same Democrats who always are putting chaff on this Republican blog to tell us things like "Nancy Reagan endorses Hillary Clinton"
If you read what they actually say, you can see they fully support things like Hillary stonewalling rather than admitting her guilty, bloody hands were all over the Benghazi mess and its COVERUP.
Former Secretary Hillary has more to answer for than just Benghazi in her term as Secretary of State. Now that she's formally a Democrat nominee, the U.S. Congress needs to complete vet her for her fitness to ever have any government job ever again. Let there be no doubt about her - let her run for president as the pre-impeached Clinton.
