It's a contradiction hat trick today here at INCITE

Capitol Hill Blue reports that Nancy Reagan refuses to endorse Bush's reelection bid.
The widow of former President, and Republican icon, Ronald Reagan has told the GOP she wants nothing to do with their upcoming national convention or the re-election campaign of President George W. Bush.
[...] There's more to the feud than that, however. Nancy Reagan has told close followers she believes Bush and the current Republican leadership have divided America with their extreme views. She has told Republican leaders she wants nothing to do with the party or Bush.
That was published July 30. August 3,
CNN had this to report:
Former first lady Nancy Reagan, who opposes President Bush's policy on limiting embryonic stem cell research, is backing the Republican's re-election bid.
[...] Reagan has limited her public appearances since the death of her husband two months ago. She will not attend the Republican National Convention in New York later this month, but the former first lady hasn't ruled out campaigning for Bush, according to [Reagan spokeswoman Joanne] Drake.
"She's taking it one day at a time right now. We'll see," Drake said. "She will certainly want to help but there are no plans right now."
The reality? Well, the truth of the matter seems to be that Capital Hill Blue, which is a left leaning publication, took several off-hand statements, remarks, or what have you, and drew from that unwarranted conclusions.
