Nancy Says No to Ronnie Raygun University

As someone who's not a particular fan of Nancy Reagan, I have to say I do admire the adamant "no" she's offered up everytime the extreme right decides to do something like put Ronnie's image on money or name a university for them. I also appreciated her speaking out in favor of stem cell research, despite how the right wing made that sound like courting satanism at its worst.

I sometimes wonder, actually, if the true Reaganites don't shudder a bit about the Bush Administration that likes to say it fashions itself after the "best of Reagan". Bush and Cheney, after all, are not conservatives in the traditional meaning of the word. Many conservatives think their GOP has been usurped - a point I happen to agree upon.
