Jane Fonda to play Nancy Reagan in film 'The Butler'

I think she would play Nancy Reagan very well.



But not this TRAITOR!

Fonda is a great actress and I don't care about her politics. It's funny that she will protray Nancy, though.

She is a good actress, I think she will do a great job. However, I wonder at their choice, because she is not well loved or respected by the right, due to her stance during the Vietnam War. It seems they would get a bigger audience had they not chosen her for the role.

The irony is dripping off Fonda's role as the wife of the messiah of the Repub party. Wait for it, they'll be protesting in front of theaters nationwide. Hanoi Nancy Reagan!!

The actual actions of Ms Fonda are greatly exaggerated, during her opposition to the Vietnam war. She was pretty young, and has apologized and expressed regret for some of them, excluding those she didn't actually do, as she should have.
I'm not a particular fan of Fonda or Nancy Reagan, but Fonda is a pretty good actress, slightly resembles Nancy Reagan, so why not.

How can one possibly exaggerate this -



or this -

When American POWs finally began to return home (some of them having been held captive for up to nine years) and describe the tortures they had endured at the hands of the North Vietnamese, Jane Fonda quickly told the country that they should "not hail the POWs as heroes, because they are hypocrites and liars." Fonda said the idea that the POWs she had met in Vietnam had been tortured was "laughable," claiming: "These were not men who had been tortured. These were not men who had been starved. These were not men who had been brainwashed." The POWs who said they had been tortured were "exaggerating, probably for their own self-interest," she asserted. She told audiences that "Never in the history of the United States have POWs come home looking like football players. These football players are no more heroes than Custer was. They're military careerists and professional killers" who are "trying to make themselves look self-righteous, but they are war criminals according to law."

You can't; I should have said SOME of her actions. I do not at all agree with the way Fonda expressed her opposition the war, and some of the things she said and did were despicable, no doubt.

I'd give you 1,000 raves if I could!

A traitor to her country is going to play Nancy Reagan on the silver screen?

Ronald must be rolling over in his grave on this one. :(

He has been rolling in his grave a lot longer then that. I remember on his death bed he told his son I really thought they were going to do what they said. referring to him giving tax breaks to corporation in return for creating more jobs. Oh well! RIP Ronnie

I should say I was not there LOL that was what his son repeated after he passed away

Well, there you go again-- (he-he)

Excuse me?

I have no earthly idea what you are talking about.

Maybe you're not old enough to remember Reagans famous "Well, There you go again" statement. He said it during a presidential debate or some such thing, and his fans thought it was just the smartest thing ever.

Hanoi Jane playing Nancy Reagan... Now ain't that a bit of a stretch, even for Hollywood. Wonder who and how someone or somebodies came up with that idea, and what they were smoking when they did.

She is!

I don't care who plays the role other than objecting to a traitorous bitch playing the role of a great American first lady. Yes, I am conservative and yes this does upset me. I suppose those on the left admire Jane?

Not all of us Mich!

You betcha' ~~~ So how's that "Objecty to the Bitchy" thing workin' out for ya??

Excellant question!

Now, if only we could get Liberals/Democrats to respond to it.
