“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 filmmaker’s 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.

Nixonian crime = Crime for which, if a Republican, your ass is grass, but for which a Democrat equals a slap on the wrist and a book deal.
That said, the movie looks kinda interesting, even if Nixon-bashing is so mid-90s (Dems dancing on his grave).

Pushing an old woman to the ground because one doesn’t like her is one thing; pushing an old woman to the ground because a car is about to hit her is another. Intent (mens rea) behind the act is essential in judging the appropriateness of the behavior.
Anyway, both FDR and Lincoln (and Nixon) engaged in far more aggressive and questionable presidential actions against Americans – not aliens – than Bush has ever dreamed of.
To be sure, both those men were operating in a different and more dangerous environment.
But as Wallace points out, you simply cannot compare the actions by Nixon that were directed against his domestic political opponents to those actions – however questionable – made by Bush against enemy alien combatants or their allies during a time of war.
SteveMG on December 2, 2008 at 10:56 PM
According to CIA Director Hayden, he knows of three people, total, that were ever waterboarded on Bush’s watch. All of them terrorist leaders, and all done before waterboarding was forbidden by legislation.
RBMN on December 2, 2008 at 10:57 PM
who gives a crap what another left wing hack director has to say. I bet his stupid nixon movie does worse than “W” at the box office and that was a fucking bomb.
lavell12 on December 2, 2008 at 10:58 PM
opie-dopie.
As I understand it, exactly 3 people were waterboarded, including KSM, the head of finance for al Qaeda and a third guy whose name I don’t recall. Not only was it not illegal to waterboard these al Qaeda leaders it was a moral necessity.
Liberals put the convenience of terrorists on a higher plane than the lives of their intended victims.
This is upside down.
Basilsbest on December 2, 2008 at 11:00 PM
Sad thing is, many people learn their history from movies and TV. And Opie probable thinks he’s being historically accurate. What ever happened to that “Alamo” movie he was going to direct? You remember, the one where the Mexicans were the good guys
Tommy_G on December 2, 2008 at 11:01 PM
Actually, the clearest and most obvious analogy to Watergate was all the fraud that BHO committed in his campaign. Of course, the BHO numbers were so far beyond the piddling figures of Watergate (perhaps hundreds of millions in illegal donations, and all out in the open) and the abuse of government (especially in Ohio) to further BHO’s political aims were so much more egregious and scary (going after normal citizens, not political operatives) that I find it almost laughable that anyone would think of Bush in this context. Further, to make things really scary, the press was 1000% behind BHO and his frauds – doing a better job as political mouthpiece than Pravda could have ever hoped to have done.
Ron Howard is a moron. He made some good movies, but I can live without them. Nothing important. Better such an idiot should go down in flames. Probably won’t happen, but I can hope.
BHO’s frauds make Watergate look like tiddly winks. And he’s probably going to get away with the biggest fraud, too.

Of course Opie is a leftist. He was in that “Funny or Die” clip where he dressed up like a little boy and talked about how bad the evil BOOOOSH is. He displayed his BRILLIANT intellect by basically repeating Obama talking points ” 4 more years, more of the same” blah blah blah.

Mr. Howard is only vocalizing what the Left’s, Democrat’s, MSM’s, and Hollywood’s talking points have been since 2000…………
…………. don’t blame him for being a mindless twit that can’t see the world for what it is beyond the sound stage.
Pampered, surrounded by actors, producers, writers, and the entourage that don’t dare deviate from the “script” or not be hired or even worse, don’t get invited to the award shows…………
Since Mr. Obama, President Elect, the Office of won (thank you ACORN and the MSM) the election, “they” are free to express themselves……………… after all, doesn’t everyone think like “us”?
In thanks for his honesty, I will reward him by not providing income to his adventure……………..
………….. I will save my money for President Bush’s book. I wonder if Mr. Howard will want to green light that project, maybe he will call it “Happy Days”?

Tuco on December 2, 2008 at 11:41 PM
Seems to me that ol’Ron Howard sounds a great deal like Sean Penn! Every other word is an “uh” or an “erhm” or an “ah”…kind of like, “Gee, if I was really an educated man I might know what I want to say in order to express myself! Oh yeah, I don’t have a script in front of me! Well, now I’m screwed!” Kind of reminds me of the Sally Fields Oscar speech too! “D@%m, I lost my train of thought! Now I have to start all over!”

Sickening. Bush is saving the nation from a worldwide evil force, and the liberals brand him “Nixonian”.
By the way, has anyone considered the bailout as possibly a means by which the government can “hide” infusion of seriously big bucks into an ultra-black program of some sort? What kind of emergency would require a multi-billion dollar clandestine infusion of cash? Anyone remember Armageddon and Deep Impact?
Or am I just being paranoid?

Good for Chris Wallace. Not only did he object to the comparison between Nixon and Bush, he did so twice. And it wasn’t only Opie up on stage, the historian Dallek was up there spewing this BS as well.
Unfortunately, Ron Howard’s career is turning into Clint Howard’s Star Trek episode — a big a$$ed ship piloted by a pint sized waddler…
Gohawgs on December 3, 2008 at 12:06 AM
Based on my experience with government it is probably just for new drapes.
Limerick on December 3, 2008 at 12:08 AM
I think not. The magnitude of the crisis was totally unexcpected and out of proportion to any forecast, and the “solution” to it is totally out of character for Bush. I think it’s a smokescreen for something very serious…serious in proportion to the funds being raised.
stonemeister on December 3, 2008 at 12:11 AM
After spending two years in a film program at the University of So Calif, Opie felt he could learn more from actual
experience so that was the extent of his formal education.
dragondrop on December 3, 2008 at 12:14 AM
In all fairness, I think Ron Howard is an excellent film maker. That doesn’t qualify him in any way to publicize his political beliefs, any more than my advice to him on camera angles has any value.
stonemeister on December 3, 2008 at 12:15 AM
Hollywood is all about fantasy and make believe
And then there is history revisionist documentaries like Michael Moore

I agree. I hope this particular film bombs big-time, and gets him thinking about why more of the public didn’t seem to share his vision. Maybe he’ll learn something new.

Ron Howard is a very good filmmaker and a quality person. He’s entitled to whatever political opinions he wants just as the rest of us are. Quit hating and starting thinking. Bush 43 will go down as a bottom 10-20% percentile President IMHO. Keep it real.

IMO GW will be one of top 5 presidents in history…his actions in stopping terrorist will be praised long after Ron Howard and his films are forgotten. In spite of the Hollywood Libs efforts to destroy GW, he accomplished his goal in stopping 911 type attacks in the past 7 years. Now that is a great accomplishment.

Zorro on December 3, 2008 at 7:08 AM
Also recall that our version of waterboarding involves plugging the nose and mouth of the terrorist (usually with saran wrap) before they are dunked in the water, so that they feel like they are drowning, but don’t actually intake any water. The Vietnamese waterboarded “for real” – the victim would actually drown and would need to be resuscitated.
War is not pretty. FDR rounded up over 100k Japanese into internment camps. Truman used nuclear weapons. Dresden was carpet bombed. A great many unseemly things were done during Vietnam.
Bush set up GTMO in order to reduce the need to do extraordinary rendition (which involves us outsourcing real torture to various third world powers) and secret prisons, while still giving our military and intelligence services the ability to get intel out of these clowns. And we did get good intel out of them. And, by the way, they are and were well cared for. These guys all get three hots and a cot, medical care, etc. When they get released from GTMO, they look like they just came from the spa. Did McCain look like that after his stay at the Hanoi Hilton?

allahallahoxenfree on December 3, 2008 at 8:23 AM
There are a ton of things I can think to criticize George W. Bush for as late but Nixonian abuse of power is certainly not one of them. Way to be a sheep, Howard. At least Frost/Nixon’s screenwriter came out and said this wasn’t the kind of reaction he was ever hoping for with the film. Not that he probably minds, being a fellow lefty, but still… at least he wants the film judged on its own storytelling merits, not used as some contemporary voodoo doll.
It happened but Howard didn’t end up directing it; he only produced it. John Lee Hancock directed it and the film stars Dennis Quaid, Billy Bob Thornton and Patrick Wilson, among others. It’s a very good movie and I’d highly recommend checking it out. Certainly doesn’t portray the Mexicans as some sort of misunderstood villains.
Jockolantern on December 3, 2008 at 8:29 AM
Last Saturday I had the misfortune of seeing the theatrical production of “Frost/Nixon” at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. I knew going in that it would be full of the typical liberal claptrap (I have season passes to all the major plays, and entertain business associates at the theater, so I didn’t select this play – it came with the package). Its biggest sin was that it was unrelentingly boring – my wife actually fell asleep on my shoulder for a couple of minutes. And, of course, Nixon (and his military attache) was scripted and acted like a cartoon character.
AnotherRightWingConspirator on December 3, 2008 at 8:31 AM

Mark Garnett on December 3, 2008 at 8:33 AM
It’s really interesting how limited entertainment giants out of Hollywood are. They all seem to share the same paradigm, and lately it’s trying to connect or manufacture parallels between the Sixties and today. They should be ashamed of themselves since the actual contradiction is stark.
Richard Nixon was not a likable president, but he brought an end to the Vietnam War with a victory on paper that was betrayed by the enemy and the moonbats in the USA. Opie seems to forget that a Democratic president and congress drafted thousands of American young men and betrayed their honor and sacrifice. How can anyone have lived through those times and missed that part of history? These men served and died in a mismanaged war that was micromanaged by idiot politicians and then came home to be spit on. America should be making movies about that, and how ashamed those people should be for that disgrace, and how that parallels the clueless critics of today.
The fabric of both the enlisted and drafted servicemen that fought in Vietnam is just as honorable and demanding of respect as the people that fight in this war against Islamic terror. The difference in victory, Opie, is that this president stood behind the troops as did his administration. The only other comparison I find is that the Dems are still doing all they can to destroy our military and have no respect for the sacrifice of these fighting people and their families.

Whomever is going to run for the next GOP slot for Pres. will become a “divisive” issue. It will allow our enemies to see the “meanness” and thus the weakness our our system. Our enemies will be emboldened by the evil attempt of the GOP to win senate seats…

While what Nixon did was unarguably a crime, these types of political shenanigans had been going on for years and perpetrated by both political parties. The only difference is, Nixon got caught.

Hollywood is the new socialism. You have rich powerful heads of production who dole out the money to make clap trap propaganda for the unwashed masses.
The poor worker class of Hollywood (grips, PA’s etc) are probably the treated the worst of any workers in industry today. They pay peanuts to the peasants and treat them as such.
izoneguy on December 3, 2008 at 9:13 AM
Bush will be remembered as a good president who tried to reach across the aisle, made compromises which were not met with fairness, and protected us. It’ll take a few years for the BDS to die out, but he did a good job with what he had.
All we have to remember is accuracy- the nuts on the left were screaming he’d find a way to extend his term, he had shredded the Constitution, kept us in an unwinnable war, etc.
As he calmly transitions out of power on 1/20/09, Obama keeps some of his “unconstitutional” policies in place, and the troops come home in victory we will all be reminded that facts are stubborn things.
I didn’t agree with a number of things Bush did, but overall job well done.

Maybe Joe Biden could give him some tips. Now, if Opie would just make a good movie, he could afford it.
Kafir on December 3, 2008 at 9:27 AM
Sorry, but Bush is on record as saying to his prospective biographer back in 1999 that if he had the chance to go to war in Iraq, he’d do so to boost his own political fortunes. He was quite enamored of how the Falklands War boosted Thatcher’s political stature in fact.

Ron Howard is just another Hollywood dunderhead. Why any of them think the rest of us give a damn about their political views is a mystery to me. And I just love it when the movies they make criticizing Bush and/or our military are DOA. Stupid liberal asses.
George Bush is an honorable man who did what he believed was right and necessary, and did it in the face of hysterical world opinion and the scorn and mockery of those who aren’t fit to wipe his shoes. He has kept us safe for 8 years. Let us hope that Bambi can do the same. I’m not very optimistic, though.

He defended this country preventing another 9-11 and chased al Qaeda to the ends of the earth. Yes, al Qaeda is still active but diminished, discredited and hunted like dogs by the US, Nato, and dozens if not hundreds of allies around the world…Their days are numbered and international jihadism will one day be tossed on the ashheap of history along with communism. Ron Howard is a nobody who lives in neverland making junk for the consumption of fellow socialist…His point of view is meaningless to people who live in the real world.

Why is it then, with all the countries running away from communism, we are stupidly stumbling toward it?
