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.
After another orgy of Republican candidate debate Reaganophilia, Paul Slansky is back once more with a loving look back at Ronald Reagan’s troubled relationship with fact.
The orgy itself came to new lows.
Shamelessness crossbred with cluelessness to produce such gems as John McCain‘s “It would be good to have Nancy Reagan back in the leadership role of the ‘Just Say No’ program”
And the Nanc herself threatened, “He’s back.”
Before It’s Too Late 
Just when we are shedding the Bushes and cracks appear in the His ‘n Her Presidencies juggernaut, a new dynastic threat looms.
It may take swallowing a second generation of Romney, but it’s a price worth paying to strangle this political career in it’s cradle.
When the New York Times asked Nixon’s Grandson about his future, Christopher Nixon Cox brings the coy:
“When asked if he would ever consider running for public office, Mr. Cox sidestepped a bit. “For me, the key is to serve my country and my community in whatever way I can,†he said. “It can’t be about ego. It has to be about using my talents to serve the country in the best way I can. Right now, that means working for John McCain.â€
You have been warned.
Negative Barometer 
Just in time for yet another gathering at the Reagan Library, the Los Angeles Times reports that incessant Reagan name checks have a negative correlation with Republican primary success. At least for Rudy Giuliani.
Now More Than Ever Forever! 
We now know that Tricia Nixon’s Iowa Mccain appearance was only the scene setter in the Nixon Cox family’s new adventures in politics.
Tricia’s husband Ed Cox had previously roused from his thirty year slumber to flirt with challenging Hillary Clinton for Senate, only to retreat. This time they are all in.
Cox is McCain’s New York State Chair, and son Christoper Nixon Cox, 
Richard Nixon’s first grandson, is state campaign Executive Director.
The familiar rituals of resume inflation are beginning. Buffalo Business First reports that Eddie “served under three U.S. Presidents.” but even his law firm biography claims only his father in law and something a fair distance from Reagan’s side:
“He served former President Nixon in the international arena and was general counsel to a major energy agency which financed synthetic fuels projects under President Reagan.”
And Reagan killed the Synthetic Fuels Corporation.
