Adam Baldwin (@adamsbaldwin) March 27, 2012Well, you already know who Jane Fonda is, and Nancy Reagan doesn’t need an introduction, but this movie cast definitely needs an explanation. What a complete joke.
@adamsbaldwin ok let me get this straight a communist anti American Hanoi Jane is going to play the great American patriot Nancy Reagan?—

Here are a few details from Variety:
In the midst of recruiting an all-star ensemble for his long-gestating passion project “The Butler,” director Lee Daniels has tapped Jane Fonda to play Nancy Reagan.
Based on a Washington Post report by Wil Haygood, pic follows Eugene Allen, the White House butler whose career started with Harry Truman in 1952 and ended in 1986 with Ronald Reagan.
The pundits will have a heyday:

Jane Fonda to play Nancy Reagan in a movie? That's like Michael Moore playing Karen Carpenter in a movie.—

@WatchCenter I keep looking to verify Hanoi Jane as Nancy Reagan is a joke. I'm not seeing it. Your not serious, are you?—

We will never hear the end of this.

Exit question: Can you think of a worse possible mis-casting? Bill Maher playing George W. Bush? Michael Moore playing Donald Rumsfeld? Al Franken playing a real-life Senator? Oh, wait…
