3. Married Reagan......

can't be that smart.

"I've always been a registered Republican. But it's bad taste to talk about ex-husbands and ex-wives, that's all. Also, I don't know a damn thing about politics."

Seems to be a prerequisite for being a Republican.

4. True but

she did have the smarts to eventually dump him. I didn't realize though that she was a repug too so she certainly wasn't overly bright.

5. Yeah, inevitable. She was a smoker.

"In person, Wyman sported the earthy language of a longshoreman. She carried her pack of Kent cigarettes with her everywhere."

7. I always felt she had class for refusing to dish the dirt about her ex-husband.

And I'm sure there WAS dirt. Jane was OK -- too bad she raised such an ass of a son (Michael... yeeech)
