I Couldn't Believe my Ears

Mary Beth Cahill, of the Kerry campaign, was on Special Report with Brit Hume this afternoon and stated that Ron Reagan was going to be "crossing party lines" to address the Democrats this evening.

Either Ms. Cahill has been living in a cave since before the Reagan administration, or she thinks we all have. It was obvious when Reagan was president and it certainly has been obvious since Mr. Reagan left office that Ron Reagan may be many things, but he has never been a Republican.

"Crossing party lines." Yeah, right.

(She was also complaining that the pics of Kerry in the spacesuit weren't supposed to exist and that someone "leaked" them and implied it was a dirty trick of some kind. NASA apparently has a different interpretation of the story).

Update: As Michael Reagan pointed out in an interview I saw later in the day, and as a reader noted in the comments section, Ron Reagan was a Green supporter in 2024. So technically he crossed party lines. However, I am not sure that that was Cahill's implication. In US political parlance, "crossing party lines" tends to refer to Dems and Reps. And when one is speaking about a Reagan, the Green Party hardly leaps to mind.
