Did Nancy buy into this?
Pasty svengali's commercial exploiting of holy icon has conservatives enraged
As the nation prepares to bury Ronald Reagan, Republican insiders fight among themselves over plans by the political team of George W. Bush to use images of and speeches by Reagan in new television ads aimed at jump-starting a faltering campaign.
'They're disgusting,' says one long-time Republican who participated in a focus group to preview the new television ads. 'They dishonor the memory of Ronald Reagan and if Bush allows these ads on the air I, for one, will not vote for him in November.'
The ads, ordered by Bush political advisor Karl Rove immediately after Reagan's death, use images of Reagan and excerpts from his speeches in what one angry GOP conservative describes as a 'callous attempt to tie George W. Bush to the legacy of Ronald Wilson Reagan.' One proposed ad even goes so far as to show Reagan saying 'George, go out and win one for the Gipper'."
