Remembering history the way they wished it had been
Right Said Fred 
John McCain could go anywhere Tuesday night to mark victories in the Potomac Primary. He chose to spend time at the home of Nixon’s Jew counter.
Lest we forget, Richard Nixon dispatched now McCain fundraiser Fred Malek to count “the other demographic criterion that was discussed†[Jews] at the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
It’s Alive! 
As President’s Day morphed into All Presidents, All The Time Day, its just gotten weirder and more unwieldy.
Republicans try to shoehorn Reagan in with fellow February Birthday Boys Washington and Lincoln, while complaining that one day really doesn’t do the lads justice. And lament the passing of glorious days of old when we heard of Lincoln learning to read by the light of a single lump of coal.
Meanwhile at the Carter Library they’ve gone beyond mere days to celebrate “President’s Month“!
Executive Action After Report? 
It’s like the Anna Nicole Smith saga with a slightly more charismatic Larry Birkhead.
The supposed John F. Kennedy lovechild has spoken to Canada’s Globe & Mail, thirsting for dynastic DNA.
The author of A Higher Purpose: Profiles in Presidential Courage is mobilized
to offer up quotes on JFK “vigor” before confessing,”It seems a little sordid, frankly.”
Whoever he is, he does have that Kennedy flair for self-dramatizing. He disdains Uncle Teddy’s choice when asked about US Presidential politics, flattering politics today’s ramshackle accumulation of notions and panders by elevating them to “dogma”!
“Jack said he did not cast a ballot in the recent Super Tuesday primaries, adding that he is neither a Democrat nor a Republican. “I couldn’t imagine my mind being hijacked by dogma like that,” he said.”
That’s sure to disappoint the Vancouver chapter chair of Democrats Abroad, who earlier enthused:
“If this was somehow true and he was willing to sort of promote Democrats Abroad and the ability of people in Vancouver and actually all through Canada to vote from abroad in the U.S. election, then I’d be happy if that was the outcome.”
Bobby Soxers 
Sage political observer Rush Limbaugh has spoken, identifying yet another new Ronald Reagan, his rambling run-through of potential McCain running mates somehow ending up in Baton Rouge.
“He is the next Ronald Reagan, if he doesn’t change. Bobby Jindal, the new governor of Louisiana is the next Ronald Reagan. He’s young. He was just sworn in for his first term. He’s the guy that beat the liberal Democrat machine throughout Louisiana….this guy could be the next Ronald Reagan. If McCain chose him, here’s a Southern state; this is Louisiana, but I think he may be too conservative for McCain. “
Limbaugh finished his deft analysis for “Kelly in Denver” with the grace and audience building rapport for which he is justly famous:
“CALLER: Well, Newt is the guy that I was thinking could probably be the next Reagan.
RUSH: Yeah, a lot of people are harboring fantasies about Newt.”
America Bakes A Cake 
Wish last week’s Reagan Birthday madness would never end? 
Your dream draws closer, because America’s Reagan Centennial Countdown has begun!
Representative Elton Gallegly [R- Reagan Library] will be history’s handmaiden.
Gallegely is best known for his crusade to deny citizenship to American born children of the foreign born. Not that this stopped him from endorsing Mitt “Anchor Baby” Romney. 
His legislation exhibits the attention to detail that marks Reagan stagecraft.
Past Presidential centennial commissions have been filled with bipartisan Washington worthies. The Eisenhower Commission had seven Senators, seven House Members, the Archivist of the United States, and six public members appointed by the President. The Teddy Roosevelt Centennial Commission had eight Presidential appointees, two Senators and two Congressmen.
Gallegely’s bill would lift the dead hand of government by giving the Reagan Library Foundation control of the Commission. It would name six out of eleven commissioners. So the people who brought you the Nancy Reagan dress exhibit will get even more federal money to tell government certified tales about Reagan.
