Anger over 'Ronald Reagan blood' auction

Source: BBC

The foundation of former US President Ronald Reagan has expressed outrage after a vial said to contain his blood was put on sale in an online auction.

4. This is morbid.

To say the least.

Whether you like or dislike a past president, to sell a blood sample (IF it is the real thing,) is really crass.

7. A holy relic of St. ronnie!

It must be bought so it can be placed between his rug and soiled undergarments, and the faithful can come and wonder at his glory!
