Talk about great news for the Republican Party!

Nancy Reagan tells Vanity Fair special correspondent Bob Colacello that "it sounds strange, but… I see Ronnie. At nighttime, if I wake up, I think Ronnie's there, and I start to talk to him. It's not important what I say. But the fact is, I do think he's there. And I see him."

That's all you need to say, Nancy Reagan. Newt Gingrich and Michael Steele are, I'm sure, already setting up Portable Ecto-Containment Units all around the Reagan estate.

One of these nights, the incorporeal form of the Gipper will come back home to comfort his poor grieving widow, and he'll stumble over one of them ghost traps, and then — BAM! — all of the GOP's problem are over!
