The boss and Bob Beckel pay tribute to a good man and “the best president of the 1970’s,” as See-Dubya called him. Admittedly a low bar, but entirely accurate.

I like Richard Nixon. Go ahead, take a cheap shot at him but he had a long,distinguished, interesting and significant career. Say what you want aboout him but he was never a boor.

And as usual, the lefties are having a “roast Ford” day. The body isn’t even cold and they are trashing him.
No respect for the dead.

AP. How about a poll on how long it will be before MM has her own show on Fox? As far as I am concerned she can replace O’Rielly anytime. He has become too soft lately. I think Bill has Larry King Syndrome.

I’d say Nixon had more of a legacy, though Watergate admittedly overshadowed everything he accomplished before that.
If you’re ever in the Yorba Linda area, I highly recommend a visit to his library. It’s like a history museum. They don’t gloss over Watergate, either. Little known factoid: Nixon played five different musical instruments.

You know you’ve arrived when you’re writing your TV appearances on your hand…man, another one? Hang on, I don’t have any paper..cheers Michelle.

Gee, thanks Michelle; you just made me feel old :-) (though I was only 12-15 during Pres. Ford’s term).
dalewalt on December 27, 2006 at 11:03 AM
I’ve seen people on the right do the samething. I’m not excusing it, but it’s not a leftist specific thing. Course the left did the SAME THING when Regan died.
That really made me angry. Ford was a good guy. Regan … was up there with the founding fathers imo.
One Angry Christian on December 27, 2006 at 11:08 AM
I always felt badly for Ford, put into an awkward situation with Nixon, smacked with the first energy driven inflation, personal difficulties. Fine man it seemed to me.
honora on December 27, 2006 at 11:11 AM
Nixon was positively Shakespearean, specifically with Shakespearean flaws. Had he not been such a paranoid he would have gone down in history as a very good president (and our last liberal president by many historians). What a waste.
honora on December 27, 2006 at 11:14 AM
MM – Thank you for remembering President Ford’s committment to public service and the oft-overlooked fact that he served as a Naval Officer in WWII.
MCPO Airdale on December 27, 2006 at 11:34 AM
FINALLY! Something that honora and I agree upon. Nixon was a liberal.
CyberCipher on December 27, 2006 at 11:46 AM
She is here…she is there…she is everywhere!

I remember first or second grade we had an election for the United States President. The whole elementary school voted. If you voted for Jimma you drew a peanut on your ballot. If you voted for Ford you drew a pick’em up truck. I drew a truck but, the peanut won. Unfortunately the peanut won for real.
Drtuddle on December 27, 2006 at 11:54 AM
It’s funny; I remember the same type of school election when I was in the first grade. Ford was the only choice that occurred to me. And I remember being sad when I was told he lost. I guess because my parents were disappointed. Rest in Peace Pres. Ford.

I knew there was something I liked about you besides your blog and writing.
I guess you’d have to be OLD to remember the ads in magazines that portrayed a long-haired, hippy-lookin’ pix of jummah kkkarter with the phrase, “Only JC can save America”.
It’s not much of a memory, but that’s what it took to defeat Ford in the election. Also, the last time the dhimmicr@ps used religion (in a positive way) during a national election.

honora, if the root of cynicism is the questionning of others’ motives, then color me cynical on this point. The “historians” you cite are so laughably, uniformly liberal that their viewpoints all come from a hard left slant. It’s like trying to read the NY Times (F-Y Lowry); how to put it in perspective?
Describing Nixon as a liberal is easy; he was. Describing him as more liberal than Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton in their duties as Presidents only makes sense if you’re a liberal trying to pretend that they weren’t.

I hope Michelle doesn’t fall for the illusion that “making it big time” means having your own slot in the MSM (even if that’s Fox News). I know she won’t, and she’s way too smart for that. Michelle’s blog and HotAir already ARE the big time.
The MSM doesn’t need to be infiltrated by conservatives, it needs to be destroyed. Onward….
Halley on December 27, 2006 at 12:33 PM
Ford was a good man, let him RIP. Alot better than most of the disappointments we have recently had for President. BTW, seejanemom (nice blo) is right, Michelle looks GREAT. Did you all catch her subbing for O’Reilly last night? Wow, how about a Michelle show on FOX?
Jonesy on December 27, 2006 at 12:37 PM
I love the way that she looks into the camera as she ends this thought, as if to drive it home.
“So, the Republican Party has a much bigger tent than uh a lot of people on the other side give them credit for I think”.
As for MM getting her own MSM show… I look forward to it with glee. Michelle has been a main source for us here on the web long enough that we know she kicks butt. It’s time for her to spread the truth and share that beautiful attitude with the masses… As they say… “Pump Up the Volume!”

“So, the Republican Party has a much bigger tent than uh a lot of people on the other side give them credit for I think”
Something tells me this is going to get a lot of airplay… seemed like a backdoor nod to Guiliani by MM? Or just a recognition of the open door of the GOP and the closed door at the DNC? In any event, a wise observation.

Richard E. Nixon was one of the most liberal Presidents we ever had (despite his conservative rhetoric). You are right, he was the last New Deal President.
Hilts on December 27, 2006 at 2:59 PM
If FNC hires Michelle, what would happen to HotAir? Will Bryan and AP and Ian carry the torch without her?
Black Adam on December 27, 2006 at 4:51 PM
Michelle needs to spend a week on F&F and give someone a week’s vacation.
They already have killer ratings. What would happen next?
Every show Michelle touches turns to gold.
Hey FNC: give some people a vacation!
Next: Malkin and Colmes
Next: The Big Story with Michelle Malkin
Next: Special Report with Michelle Malkin
Next: The Fox Report with Michelle Malkin

Fair Winds and Following Seas, President Ford.

O-U-C-H!
Oh, that hurts. Damn, that makes me feel old.
I voted for Nixon — both times!
