This can't be good.

I received this announcement from ArcaMax Entertainment News today:

JAMES BROLIN TO PLAY REAGAN
Barbra Streisand's husband, actor James Brolin, has been cast as Ronald Reagan in a CBS miniseries set to air in November, FOX News reports.

Brolin will play Reagan, a Republican, as he moves from his film career to California governor to president.

"We haven't asked Streisand for her opinion, and it took us a minute to digest it," CBS Chairman Leslie Moonves admits, but the veteran producers "were convinced that he was the right guy for it, and we back them."

Last September, Streisand headlined a Hollywood gala that raised about $6 million for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Fox says.

**********************
I have to assume that if Mr. Streisand has agreed to play this part, the script has a decidedly left-bias ~ or she wouldn't allow it. Next we'll hear that Oliver Stone and Michael Moore are writing the script - and they'll call it a "true story" because they get the names right.
