Remembering history the way they wished it had been
Bored To Mild 
Further backwash from the failure of “An American Carol” to attract actual audiences:
Dennis Hopper now free to drop his right-wing wierdo guise to don some other kind of weirdo guise and endorse Barack Obama.
…..And In A Boxed Set With JFK & Nixon By Christmas?
Hugh Hewitt: Leg Man?     
Indomitable or perverse: You make the call. Like his mentor Richard Nixon, former Nixon Library Executive Director Hugh Hewitt will not accept defeat.
His mash note to Mitt Romney couldn’t save the Latter Day Hope, and the next horse Hewitt chose to ride is faltering.
#1: He Lost 
The Townhall impresario’s latest attempt to serve the cause and himself has stalled, with publishers so far rejecting his proposed  How Sarah Palin Won the Election … and Saved America quickie book.
Fact Finding 
National Treasure Al Kamen scores again with his discovery of an exciting new initiative during the prolonged departure of the George W. Bush administration. All hands are summoned to contribute to “The Bush Record,” but keep it short, please.
“Please provide a one or two paragraph summary,” the e-mail instructs, “on the overarching communications strategy for your Department. This section should also list any broad, overarching products you plan to produce (e.g., a document listing your Department’s major accomplishments over the past eight years, a video of Department successes, etc.).”
Sadly, even beloved icons can overlook some items. Kamen credits The Guardian with recently uncovering an overlooked classic of the early Bush Years, when thoughtful readers of this esteemed journal of record were alerted to The Leadership Genus Of George W. Bush a year ago.

 Red Ruffian friends, to the point where it isn’t even trying to make sense.
McCain’s breathless release headlines, “The Obama Campaign Claims Not To Know Details Of Ayers’ Relationship”
…before serving up heaping helpings of Fox News excerpts, with no real effort to explain their time, date or place, much less that of the events they pretend to discuss.
Then, deeper and deeper into the mysteries of “Annenberg.”

“And this was directly funded by Annenberg?”
Kurtz: “Oh, yes.”
Griffin: “Under Obama’s chairmanship?”
Kurtz: “Oh yes”
Who is this sinister Annenberg? Mob scion, ambassador, 
  dead friend of Presidents, before he died Walter Annenberg sought respectability by dumping much of his fortune into multiple foundations, one of which engaged Obama and Ayers.
Who is this Kurtz?  
The “conservative scholar” hangs his hat at the famed Ethics & Public Policy Center, the former home of Eliot “Mr. Kenilworth” Abrams. Kurtz has grown into his role as relentless Ayers pursuer, leaving behind his youthful flirtations with big think on terrorism and a prolonged period as “the ‘EverReady Bunny’ of the same-sex marriage debate“
