She made an honest mistake. Nancy Reagan advocated against drug use and brought awareness to other illnesses, and Hillary got some information from memory while speaking off the cuff crossed up. It happens. She has apologized for the error. Why the hell is this even a story? Even brilliant people make honest mistakes. She was trying to honor a deceased former and fellow First Lady and got something mixed up. She wasn't even talking about herself. This is NOTHING.
