I remember during Iran-Contra, she stood by him and told him what to say when quizzed by a reporter. It was pretty clear that Nancy was closer to Betty Ford politically than to her husband. Or am I missing something? I can’t think of a conservative stand Nancy pushsed, but there may be one, other than “Just Say, No” to drugs.
“It’s fine. It’s fine,” [Mrs. Walker] says, waving off talk of that, preferring to chat about the Rolling Stones concert she attended in Milwaukee — 11th row!”

Nancy Reagan, to my knowledge, never went to the Washington Post and undercut her husband’s conservative credentials.
But, that’s not really the point. This article is just another example of Gov. Walker trying to appeal to all sides. That’s the point.
The message he is trying to send is— Gov. Walker is conservative, but his family is “with it”— they support gay marriage AND hey, they even attend Rolling Stones concerts!
That he and/or his family went to a Rolling Stones concert is fine with me— that, he is playing all sides— isn’t.
