'Hanoi Jane' Set to Play Nancy Reagan in New Film

Sometimes Hollywood casting directors must chuckle into their sleeves at the way their decisions drive conservatives to distraction. Case in point - this news flash concerning Oscar-winner Jane Fonda's new project: Jane Fonda is going to be playing Nancy Reagan in a new movie. Oh yes. According to Variety, the reviled-by-conservatives actress/activist has joined the cast of "The Butler," the new Lee Daniels drama about a White House servant (Forest Whitaker) whose career lasted from the Truman Administration to Ronald Reagan's. Daniels is also looking to Liam Neeson to play Lyndon Johnson and John Cusack to play Richard Nixon. Arch-liberals Fonda and Cusack playing a pair of major figures on the Right? Conservatives should stock up on antacids starting ... now.

Gushy Americans elected Bomber Bill Ayers' dummy whose daughter's initials are M.A.O. and whose communication director Anita Dunne reveres Mao--behold a president who is in a position to surrender to the Russians in a way JFK was prevented from doing.

FILM FAIL

Does anyone watch this sh!t anymore?

I haven’t been in a theater since 2003 to see Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World..

[X-spurt]

That’s exactly why they did it! They’re giggling to each other right now.

Simple, join us in not pissin away our money on this sort of dribble. Only thing I’d pay to see Hanoi jane in would a be a real snuf-flick with her the subject.

This will kill Nancy. Revisionists unfortunately follow this axiom, “History is written by the winners, NOT the losers”.

Amazing, isn’t it?

Just amazing.

Spiteful mofus.

Jane Fonda is going to be playing Nancy Reagan

Hollywood can enjoy the chuckle today.

On the way to the bank the money bag will be much lighter tomorrow.

Juliann Moore and Tina Fey playing Sarah Palin. Meryl Streep playing Margaret Thatcher. Now, Hanoi Jane Fonda playing Nancy Reagan.
Dingbat lefty actresses playing real women, and the pretenders look almost life-like. I’ll take the real thing, thanks anyway Follywood.

Who funds these movies??? No one goes to see them, and I’m sure they are all big time money-losers, even if the clowns like Fonda and Cusak work for free.

ET was my last. It was a good movie.

[x1stcav]

Wasn’t that like back in the early 80’s?

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[jmacusa]

Won’t make a dime if no ones goes to see it. F**k Jane Fonda, she’s a dried-out old Sixties hag whom at least two generations of Americans know nothing about or even care. And to a generation who do know, nothing she will ever do will erase the stench of treason she reeks of.

Millions sold!

You have very good recall

The movie ET 1982. Time flys doesn't it?

I had to google the date. It was a cute movie.

Yeah, baby! What you said!

I have to admit, though, that the first thing I noticed is that she’s way too tall.

Nancy is a very petite woman. Fonda can’t slump big enough for her portrayal to be believable. lol

I remember watching SNL because Sarah was supposed to be on. As soon as I saw her, my comment was that she didn't look anywhere near as attractive and intelligent as I'd thought before. It was, of course, Tina Fey.

One word.

Boycott.
