OOOOOH!
Thanks to the impish pranksters at boingboing for steering us to Adie Russell, who for some reason lip-sinks to old tapes of Richard Nixon among others.
It can only be described as disturbing. 
Nixon appeared on the Merv Griffin Show [Roger Ailes, Producer] as part of his New Nixon build up to 1968. Griffin asked the candidate about being a little shopworn, and Nixon responds with two timeless strategies: praise for the thoughtfulness of the question followed by changing the subject.
“GRIFFIN: But you must be aware of an undercurrent with politicians, with people in our business, even comedians who refer to Richard Nixon as a loser. You have that stigma because of losing two big contests. How do you plan to combat that? You must be aware that that’s been said. It’s been written about in newspapers.
RICHARD NIXON, FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Sure. I think it’s a legitimate question that should be raised by those who are trying to find the strongest possible candidate and the way you combat it is to win something.”
It’s not in that little transcript snippet I’ve found on-line, but Nixon’s soon off into audience testing early drafts of his ’68 acceptance speech complaint that “when the President of the United States cannot travel abroad or to any major city at home without fear of a hostile demonstration – then it’s time for new leadership for the United States of America.”
Nixon Hits the Sauce 
The nation remains haunted by the spectre of Richard Nixon, seeing him in the hills, in the trees, in the very eggplants.
And now in a dab of soy sauce.
No Walk-ons! 
Steve Clemons provides a Richard Nixon footnote to the nation’s tearful remembrance of the gun-bearer’s Moses, Charlton Heston.
Clemons was handling some of the Nixon funeral logistics, and called Heston to inquire if the great man would visit the sacred ground in Yorba Linda.
“When I asked Mr. Heston if he would like to attend President Nixon’s funeral, his response was: “In what capacity?”
I wasn’t sure what he meant, so I repeated the question of whether he’d like to attend and whether he would need a limo/town car pass — and told him that I’d make arrangements for him in the family section.
He said, “I thank you for all that — but will I have a role?”
I said I couldn’t really arrange that. After all, we already had a program that featured Billy Graham, Bill Clinton, Bob Dole, Henry Kissinger, California Governor Pete Wilson, and others*.
And then he said, “No, I can’t attend. Thank you for the offer.”
”
My Way 
*Here Clemons carries on a Nixon Library tradition. Bill Clinton also spoke at the funeral, but a mid-90s Library photo exhibit on the service managed to exclude any image showing Clinton.
Birth of the Legend 
A retired Ghanaian Army man is making an outsider run for President, and one of the barriers he must overcome is his name: Richard Nixon Tetteh.
Nixon had a history in West Africa.
Ghana’s independence celebration attracted political personalities from throughout Africa and the world as the first country freed from colonial rule. Eisenhower dispatched the Vice President to carry the flag amidst the Marxists and Pan-Africanists. At the celebratory ball Nixon legendarily slapped a man on the back, asking “How does it feel to be free?” The man replied “I wouldn’t know, I’m from Alabama.â€
In one version, Nixon’s encounter was with Martin Luther King, who was in Ghana for the celebration.
Why The Nixon? 
Fresh from hobnobbing with the Burmese junta, conservative talk radio titan and Jew-On-The-Go Dennis Prager takes his act to the Nixon Library out buildings today.
We are told that everything changed, that the Nixon Library has been stripped of it’s discredited Watergate exhibit, that steady historian hands are in charge now. Their writ may not run to the Nixon”East Room” where Prager will hold forth. 
It’s vast whale of space attached to the Library and rent-able for your function, like the White House East Room if it had skylights and an enormous Presidential seal slapped on the floor.
The Nixon Library is open enough to drive away Jewish events in recent years, but Prager is the sort to remember Nixon as the first President to visit Israel, rather than the anti-Semite the Nixon archives reveal.
Prager has his own troubles with religious minorities. His crusade against first-in-the-nation Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison using a Koran for swearing-in staging was widely mocked. Prager’s bible thumping [“America, Not Keith Ellison, decides what book a congressman takes his oath on“] invented a rule which didn’t exist, and when he got called on it claimed he was being persecuted.
Prager is a Bush appointee on the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council, which distanced itself from him in the controversy.
