2. An outrage! Nixon was a low-down crook, a power-hungry monster.
But still, to have Dubya compared to Tricky Dicky is a slur on Nixon's name.

6. HOLY MOLY: not just a reference, it's the name of the Op Ed PIECE!!!!!
In big bold letters:

"George W. Nixon"

CBS) President Bush is often compared to Ronald Reagan and George Bush the Elder. In his latest Against the Grain commentary, CBSNews.com's Dick Meyer says think Nixon.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Fall guys, intimidation and leaked personal attacks on enemies are back in at the 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. How Nixonian. How disappointing.

What a well written article. I especially liked that little shot at the end: CREEPy The obvious link to to Nixon's band of criminals who ran the COMMITTEE to RE ELECT the PRESIDENT.

Somebody at CBS is pissed!

15. My letter to Meyer......
Dear Mr. Meyer:

I completely agree with what you have opined in your article, George W. Nixon. There is one slight mischaracterization that you made that I humbly present to you. You conclude your article with this statement:

“But the Bush White House is becoming Nixon-like, with a smile and, of course, good manners. It’s re-election time and it’s CREEP-Y.”

It isn’t that the Bush White House is ‘becoming’ Nixon-like, it’s that people are starting to get fed up with the secrecy, lies and abuse of power and the people and, thankfully, the journalists, are finally speaking up. Nothing has changed in the Bush White House. It has been marked with this traits since the beginning.

Thank you,

16. I hope they bring more of it.
More than just op-ed pieces. Headlines, stories on the T.V. etc. It is free campaign material for the Dems. It will offset the $200 million that Bush wants to raise in campaigns. The Sierra club is organizing, the DNC is running adds etc.. He has to spend his $200 million on the DNC and the Sierra Club etc, and nothing on his cmpaign or smear of the Dem candidate.

Frothing at the mouth, the Creeps are questioning each other. You just know they are infighting already and now its getting worse. The "I told you" is becoming a roar. The CYA is getting serious. Everyone is ducking, typ Pubs.

Come, we get the popcorn, watch this shit unfold.

55. This is the thing.......BUSH* doesn't even know about this!!!!!!!
Edited on Thu Jul-24-03 08:11 PM by DagmarK
They keep him under tight raps. (not wraps. RAPS.....as in they box his chimpy ears if he looks out of line). Their little WMD and idiocy.

I am sure he doesn't know anything unless Rove decides the boy needs to know in order to say something publicly about.

That's the laughable kicker in all this.......Here we have an alleged leader who is bullying the world and our country right and left, and I have no doubt that he is absolutely man-handled by his keepers....

But Poppy is staying connected...........LOL

The Rove/RNC/Nixon-Bush-Cheney/Halliburton-Harkin-Big-Oil-Bechtel/Bush-Family-Oligarchy/Israeli-Lobby/DIEBOLD Admin

It would be great if people would make the connection between distrust for shrub & the crooked voting machines.

24. Hopefully, they'll continue
with this line of attack during their nightly national and sixty minutes programs. CBS has shown american soldiers being covered up very obviously dead and reported last night that the death toll stood at 97 no quivling over combat/noncombat, just dead.

31. Yes, Bush is out-of-touch.
But you can't compare him to Reagan. George is a vicious little thug with a smile on his face and a glad hand that conceals the shiv he'll slip between your ribs if you cross him.

33. notably does NOT mention Karl Rove
Or the fact that Rove actually interned for Nixon's dirty tricks operator Donald Segretti.

For people like me who know Nixon through "All the president's men," Segretti was the slimeball portrayed by Robert Walden.

I take Meyer's not mentioning this because it might be seen as revealing some partisan grudge against Bush, the way a fixation on Janet Reno was a sign of a Clinton-hater. Just a guess.

51. Both W and Rove were big buddies with Lee Attwater
who not only was responsible for the infamous Willie Horton ad (along with W his self), but cut his political teeth by being the matermind behind Nixon's dirty tricks campaign.

W even read the bible (if you can imagine that) to Attwater while he lay sick in the hospital with brain cancer.

Considering the history here, there is little reason to expect anything else from this bunch other than smears and dirty tricks. I'm sure they knock back a few brews (or straight Jack Daniels in the idiot's case) late at night and laugh about how proud Lee Attwater would be of them.
