Nancy serves Mitt lemonade & cookies, anoints with coveted from-beyond-the-grave Ronnie benediction
Nancy Reagan endorses Romney, says ‘Ronnie’ would have liked his business background
By Associated Press, Published: May 31
LOS ANGELES — Former first lady Nancy Reagan served lemonade and cookies to Mitt Romney and his wife and offered the presumptive Republican presidential nominee something extra — her endorsement.
The widow of President Ronald Reagan says she is firmly behind Romney. And she says that her “Ronnie” would have liked Romney’s business background and what she calls his “strong principles.”
Romney and his wife, Ann, visited Mrs. Reagan at her Los Angeles home on Thursday. The Republican presidential candidate has been campaigning and raising money on the West Coast this week.
In a statement issued after the Romneys’ visit, Mrs. Reagan said she believes that Romney has the experience and leadership skills that, in her words, “our country so desperately needs.”

Part of me thinks "she's a widow, she's elderly, maybe I should just shut the hell up and let her peacefully do whatever brings her joy."
Then I realize we're in a Presidential election, that the purpose of the lemonade and cookies was to accept Mitt as an heir to Saint Ronnie's throne, and I think "screw that."
Reagan was a lousy president and Nancy was batshit crazy long before Michele Bachmann made it fashionable.
Even Lucille Ball thought she was one half of the crazy duo! 
Me - I was 7-15 during the Dipstick (as my father called it) Administration. I associate Ronnie and Nancy with my dad SCREAMING at the television(evening news) and throwing the newspaper down in disgust.
