Actually, I think Nancy was probably closer to Hillary then to Laura in terms of friendliness.
I have a sister-in-law, who retired from the LA Times. As part of her job she often co-ordinated special events or visits to the Times by dignitaries. Once she was coordinating a luncheon where Nancy was to be the guest of honor. The question of attire was broached with Nancy's people, who replied that Nancy felt the mood should be subdued, restrained and that dark colors would be appropriate. The word was spread to the attendees.
Nancy upon arrival was wearing a bright 'fuchsia' flower patterned dress. She stood out from the crowd and was, of course, very photogenic. Which was exactly her intent.
I was not a Reagan fan when he was elected, but developed into one while he was President. Nancy though is another matter and I never have gained any respect for her. However, her love and devotion to 'Ronnie' is admirable.
That's a pretty damn funny story about Nancy. I sort of admire her for it....Can't say I would like to be around her, but it's a funny story that shows some pretty strategic thinking.
