Nancy Reagan: Just Say "Pass Me That Crack Pipe!"
Annalee Newitz at io9.com posts Cliff Roth's hilarious, "almost seamless re-edit of the the famous 'Just Say No' speech given by the Reagans in September of 1986 -- except in this version, the President and the First Lady are doing their best to get us all hooked on drugs:
Remember: Nancy believed in astrology, and was known to consult them before approving White House visits by dignitaries.
If you could wave a magic wand and make only one of two things go away, astrology or drug abuse, which would you choose?

Dunno. I think you meant to say "non-abusive drug use."
In THAT case, I might vote to demolish any belief in astrology, but otherwise, I'd vote to demolish drug abuse. (Somehow, I suspect that most people who believe in astrology don't make REALLY bad decisions - such as driving drunk.)

Lady/Dood, the sell arms to the Contras. What more "bad" do you need?

Remember the story in the San Jose Mercury News that claimed the Reagan administration/CIA shielded underground cocaine traffickers from the law? Supposedly the money from selling cocaine helped fund Contra groups. I wonder how much of that is true?

Even edited for humorous effect, they're creepy.
Nancy just oozes creepiness; I wonder what Ronnie would have said if he knew beforehand she'd be sending his dead body on that ghoulish Corpse-a-palooza post-mortem tour.
I suppose they worked it out together in some sort of nude Satanic astrology session, complete with floor paintings and black candles.
Seriously. The man called his wife "Mommy". Doesn't get much creepier than that.

About the only way to make it more creepy is if she called him her big little boy

From what I understand, that was pretty common for men of Reagan's generation and earlier. At any rate, the fictional married men in TV's M*A*S*H and the kid's book "Mr. Popper's Penguins" did just that - and they were both "older" than Reagan.

Just because its common doesnt mean it wasnt creepy.

You must see some sick stuff when the White House calls Gog Magog Carpet Reclaimers to clean up their mess. :(

What's creepier? "Mommy" or "baby".
