Psst. Ronnie was stooping Nancy before he was divorced from Jane...

1. It was reported he had a dalliance while Governor, too.

[Stuckinthebush]

2. He's scum too

Just like McCain and anyone who betrays the trust of their spouse.

[babylonsister]

3. Doncha know it only matters when a Dem is involved, even if he's

not in Congress, and not a prez candidate? That's just the way it is.

[latebloomer]

4. I think you mean "shtupping"

As I say to my huz,you can always tell a goy. He pronounces "kvetch""ka-vetch."

:D

[polichick]

8. oyyyyyy :)

[scarletwoman]

13. I thought it was schtupping -- 's-C-h-t'. I may be a schiksa, but I've had lots of Jewish friends

over the years -- several of whom I've schtupped. ;)

20. You may be right!

though most Yiddish words seem to have a multiplicity of English spellings.

:hi:

5. You sure about that?

Wyman and Ronnie divorced in 1948. Ronnie met Nancy in 1949 - from a quick search of teh Google.

EDIT ADD - From a bit more research, it looks like Ronnie may have been cheating on then girlfriend Nancy...

6. it was well known at the time

my mother told me all about it. She had zero respect for Nancy because of it.

[blogslut]

9. Okay

I just never heard that before.

I'm more intrigued by this bit @ NNDB where a woman named Selene Walters claims old Ronnie raped her:

7. Cheating by 'pukes is o.k. for they are else-wise sanctimonious and reichous, besides

Jesus always forgives 'pukes for their adolescent indiscretions. :P

[asjr]

11. Not that it matters, but I think

Nancy was the love interest in a movie she made with Ron. That may be how she met him. But--that's Hollywood.

[Colobo]

10. So? He didn't put his party at risk of losing an election or

used campaign money to pay his mistress.

[AllentownJake]

12. Was he paying her with PAC money and keeping her in supporters mansions too?

It isn't the affair, its the PAC money and the cover-up.

The sex is the minor offense. John was wrong to do this and we shouldn't defend him.

[mnhtnbb]

14. Ronnie wasn't even in politics at the time.

[AllentownJake]

15. That was part of my point.

[GalleryGod]

16. That's Schtupin'

EOM

[JackBeck]

17. Wasn't he also the first divorced President to be elected?

Yummy. Republican Family Values hypocrisy.

[WinkyDink]

24. Only.

[Jensen]

18. How GHW Bush? Google it

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_Fitzgerald

It really pissed me off to hear Pat Buchanan mention all of the Dem President that cheated and made no mention to Ronnie, George or Mc Same!

[totodeinhere]

19. Why is any of this relevant?

There are a lot of important issues to concern ourselves with, but Reagan's love life is not one of them.

[JackBeck]

21. Democrats haven't branded themselves the party of Family Values.

And didn't court the "Moral Majority" for votes, like Reagan did, so it points out how ingrained the hypocrisy is in the Republican Party.

[Thothmes]

23. Reagan got elected twice

obviously not a big issue with the electorate.

[JackBeck]

25. You're assuming that the Moral Majority electorate was aware of his hypocrisy.

You're naive in thinking that the Moral Majority would still have voted for him if they knew Nancy was preggers before they married.

And as we learned too late after the fact, his Alzheimer's had set-in a lot earlier than we were lead to believe, because of the protective bubble he was kept in.

These are but a few of the characteristics of a puppet leader, since most liberals are quite aware that like Shrub, Reagan was just the charismatic fundraiser and figurehead, unaware of all the backroom shenanigans being performed in his name.

[americanstranger]

22. Well, maybe not 'schtupping'...

Nancy was well-known in Hollywood for, umm, other gifts.

[book_worm]

26. Actually he wasn't. It was Wyman who wanted a divorce becuz RR was a bore

they divorced in 1948 or 1949 and Reagan didn't begin to see Nancy until 50 or 51 and in the meanwhile dated people like Patricia Neal and Doris Day.
