The Widow Speaks

What do you serve the Sultan of Oman and his enormous entourage for dinner? Who should sit next to a foreign dignitary who doesn’t speak a word of English? Why is it that there is always less silverware at the end of a state dinner than you had when the night began?

What is the audience for books asking such questions?

We’re about to find out. In the wake of her old clothes show at the Reagan Library, America’s Widow is collaborating on a tome promising to answer these urgent needs.


“Entertaining at the White House with Nancy Reagan” hurtles us back to that magical time, when a pre-comeback John Travolta reagan-travolta-dancing-with-princess-diana-in-1985.jpg danced with Princess Di in the East Room, when triangular trade in weapons and hostages between the US, Nicaragua and Iran could seem to be a ‘pretty good idea.” Anything seemed possible!

Apparently the White House had been overrun by hippies and hillbillies, and FFL Nancy Reagan cleared the stables.

“Mrs. Reagan embraced this role with a unique energy and joie de vivre rare among her predecessors, and she has been waiting for the right moment in history to share her stories.”

FOX & Friend

Chris Wallace is shaking things up at Fox News Sunday, launching a cutting edge new interview series called “American Leaders.”

Let Chris explain:

“we want to expand the conversation on Sunday talk shows to reach beyond the Beltway and hear from some of the most compelling voices in business, culture and religion.”

But they could get George Bush [41].

A sampling of the Wallace fact seeking juggernaut in action:

“Where do you and your family — where did you get this commitment to public service?”

And as grandpa or poppy — what are you?

Volunteerism has had quite some staying power in the last 20 years, hasn’t it?

Great to see the hard hitting style he showed in his Nancy Reagan take-down hasn’t dulled.
