The parallels are haunting, if Richard Nixon had been living under house arrest at his Presidential Library/Hacienda until word of the pardon came. And if Gerald Ford had needed more military backing than Alexander Hague to take power.
Philippine President Gloria Arroyo pardoned Joseph Estrada, who’s Vice President she had been. Estrada is sort of the Ronald Reagan of the Philippines,
only more Charles Bronsonish. 
And if Reagan had been running spies in the White House in retirement.
He’s been living rough at his “ranch” 
building a Presidential Library,which Estrada says is
Reagan-inspired. 
It has the usual: a recreation of his office, grave to be, snapshots with Clinton and Mandela.
Estrada says it all comes back to Ronald Reagan:
“If a Hollywood grade-B actor can become a US President, a grade-A Filipino actor like me can do it better.”
Nifty Naftali
The impossible takes a little longer at the Nixon Library.
New Director Timothy Naftali is still winded and a little dusty from single handedly removing the old, bad, inaccurate Watergate exhibit 
at the Nixon Library, Museum, Birthplace and Grave.
But he found the strength to congratulate himself for booking Watergate Hero-Reporter Carl Bernstein, book touring with his Hillary Clinton biography:
“I was told when I got here it couldn’t be done“
The Los Angeles Times and Orange County Register followed Bernstein around the grounds 
to the Nixon birthplace home 
, but if he paused at the the nearby grave it went unreported.
*Let’s review…
“Libraries are not monuments to the glory of the Presidents for which they are named.”
Whatever they are smoking at Redstate blog it’s clouding their vision.
Leaving aside the endless galleries of glory, if the Presidential Libraries are not monuments, whatever are these doing there?
Nixon: 
Reagan:
Bush [to come]: 
only more Charles Bronsonish.
