From Drudge...Bravo Chris Wallace...

Takes on Hollywood filmmaker

Washington Times
Tuesday, December 2, 2008
Fox News journalist Chris Wallace on Monday evening defended President Bush against criticism by Hollywood filmmaker Ron Howard that the president has abused his office in a way similar to President Richard Nixon.
"Richard Nixon's crimes were committed purely in the interest of his own political gain," Mr. Wallace told Mr. Howard before an audience of a few hundred after viewing the filmmakers new film "Frost/Nixon," which is about the only U.S. president to resign from office.
"I think to compare what Nixon did, and the abuses of power for pure political self preservation, to George W. Bush trying to protect this country — even if you disagree with rendition or waterboarding — it seems to me is both a gross misreading of history both then and now," Mr. Wallace said.
Mr. Wallace was a member of the audience at a special preview screening of "Frost/Nixon," which depicts the process that led to the disgraced presidents confession of failure. The screening was held at the National Geographic building in Washington. The movie opens nationwide Friday.

| Quote: | Bush = Nixon? Not So Fast, Says FNC’s Chris Wallace
The FOX Forum
December 2nd, 2008
But then “FOX News Sunday” host Chris Wallace, braving the liberal wind, asked a question, which was actually more of an accusation. “To compare George W. Bush to Richard Nixon is to trivialize Nixon’s crimes and is a disservice to Bush,” Wallace said. Recalling that 3,000 people were killed on 9/11, and noting that there hadn’t been any attacks on U.S. soil since, Wallace suggested that something had been done right. That’s why, he said, “we are all sitting here tonight so comfortably”—and not afraid of another terrorist attack. Moreover, Wallace said, “Richard Nixon’s crimes were committed solely for his own political gain, whereas George W. Bush was trying to protect the American people.” To suggest otherwise, Wallace insisted, “was a grave misrepresentation of history, then and now.” And, amazingly, Wallace received a smattering of applause. |

| It is about time someone put these liberial scum bags in their place. What is wrong with the GOP leadership that they are unable to tell the truth in defence of our President. |

Still looking for the flicker.

After seeing all but two Republicans vote to confirm Hillary for Secretary of State yesterday, that flicker is beginning to seem more like a cool smoulder.
It is beginning to look more like the "loyal opposition" has become more of a "cooperative opposition."

It seems probable that the bastions of Senate integrity are about to confirm a nominee for Sect. of the Treasury who is a self-admitted tax fraud.
I'm barely able to restrain my sense that America, as we have come to know and love it, is on its deathbed. |

I fear that you are correct, #1. We have traversed too far along the slippery slope to reverse course. My only consolation is that it is the younger generation that voted for the "change", that will also have to live with it.
Myself, at 72 years of age come Saturday, not that many years left to dream of "what might have been".
