The Bush administration, like some satanic cult insistent on opening a door for demonic possession of the country’s consciousness, has budgeted $10 million dollars to deodorize the lingering stench of death and decay that surrounds the Nixon legacy. In 1974 the Republican warmonger’s papers were seized by the government when his administration was brought down in disgrace. At that time it was mandated that the US government maintain those records and recordings in safe-keeping in the National Archives near Washington DC.
Now, in the first step of a revisionist scheme to restore some dignity to the crook, the Bush administration liars intend to move the records to Yorba Linda. What America doesn’t need is money spent on aggrandizement of the vile creature’s reputation. Send the $10 million to New Orleans so they don’t need to take foreign aid for rebuilding, but don’t spend it on Nixon’s memory for god’s sake.
This expenditure is as absurd as if someone sometime decided that George W. Bush needed a memorial. Not all presidents of the US are worth remembering fondly.

It looks like the Bushist distaste for revisionist historians doesn’t extend very far (not that it ever existed). I’ll bet you, Frank, that this move will be defended as giving poor old Tricky Dick some peace; hounded to the end of his days by self-loathing America haters and really no worse than any other president. Which is true, sort of. Bush is much worse.
