More Trouble in an Already Troubling House

Pelosi hasn’t been able to get it together since day one. In fact the democrats had an entire season of broken promises. Bi-partisanship lasted one day. The began by betraying America, and found a new name. These surrendercrats have never understood why we must finish the job in Iraq. Jack Murtha has been spanked several times. Now, the democrats have to investigate themselves for not being able to run the house.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) are heading toward a clash over the size and scope of a special investigation into a controversial vote last month that Republicans are calling “the stolen vote.”

In a letter to Pelosi Friday, Boehner asked for $1 million for professional investigative staff, consultants and other expenses. He also asked for an expansion of the probe to include “exceedingly controversial events in the House that occurred in close succession in early August,” such as the malfunction of the automatic voting system and alterations of the Congressional Record.

Frost/Nixon: Rewriting History

Victory in Defeat: Nixon Made His Final Come-Back

Kevin Bacon will be in the Frost/Nixon Movie 

The new play Frost/Nixon should probably have won the Tony Award for best play in 2007. It was a mesmeric flash of radiant theater and an impressive show. While captivating audiences with this interesting fragment of American history, Peter Morgan can not restrain his desire to rewrite history through his radical liberal lens. Encouraged by researcher and author James Reston who claims a lot of the credit for the success of the Frost interviews, Morgan bluntly states that Nixon died in shame. In a harsh and jarring episode near the end of the play, the actor portraying Reston in the play says that Nixon never rehabilitated himself. At that moment this great play became the latest attempt by the generation of flower power to manipulate the historical memory of the next generations. Some of these hippie generation remnants are still fighting against the Vietnam War, and wishing that George McGovern had been elected President.

Morgan and Reston almost destroy the credibility of their work by taking the erroneous view of the conclusion. There are many who can resist the self-indulgent temptation to compare Richard Nixon and George W. Bush. While Morgan and Reston acknowledge the plotting nature and hostile spirit of the liberal media, they still can not get past the elitist view of Nixon. Reston seems to have minions determined to assist him in destroying the final strong years of Richard Nixon.
