None.
My mom, a staunch Republican, refused to vote for Reagan in 1980 because, in her words, "He wasn't that good of an actor! Why on earth does he think he'd be a good president?"
Bless her.

Of course not. That is their only charming feature. They're just so clueless they're cute.

Don't forget Noble Willingham, the old man from Walker Texas Ranger.

Seriously, this has nothing to do with lack of self-awareness. This is purely the sneering, Orwellian, post-modern contempt of Republican elites for the intelligence of the traditional media and the American people in action.

Actually, I think it's more their desperate need to find anything--FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, ANYTHING--that they can possibly use as an epithet. And their base are not what you'd call sticklers for details.

NR is where that hack Johnathan Martin at Politico came from. Nothing on NRO surprises me after the blatantly apparent fabricating of a stories theme people like John are capable of.
I'm surprised Politico is given the audience they are on cable news.
They mind as well give World Net Daily WH press credentials while they are at it and maybe even the creator of THIS SITE if they are willing to give Politico which has basically become a tabloid.

Jim Vandehei might be a bigger GOP shill than Martin. I heard he had an autographed photo of the Clinton impeachment managers on his wall. And, he's married to a former DeLay staffer.
He spins to the right every time I hear him and tries to dismiss or mitigate anything that points to GOP wrongdoing.

Miss Hathaway from the Beverly Hillbillies was a rep here in Pa for a zillion years, and old hack George Murphy was some kind of pol in CA.
I wonder if Kilmer will use Doc Holliday or Batman as his political persona.

Or Jim Morrison.

To CT Voter: my mother wouldn't vote for Reagan, either. She'd turn up her nose, curl her lip and spit out, "Reagan. Hmmmmph!"
She did like his monkey co-star, though.
Not George Bush. Bonzo...
