Strenuous Denials! 
The Theodore Roosevelt Association accused past director Edward Renehan of stealing Association documents and he’s criminally charged.
Renehan’s publicist responds saying he is bipolar, and claiming that in past internal thefts the Association has quietly done deals, letting a office manager who allegedly embezzled $100,000 walk with a promise of future restitution.
Thick With Thieves? 
Enraging the TRA president, who told Newsday “…Mr. Renehan misappropriated Theodore Roosevelt Association property and now has inappropriately disclosed confidential information.”
Leading Renehan’s attorney to tell Newsday the leak was “unauthorized by myself or by Ed Renehan.”
Which is true – Renehan’s publicist did it. And none to fastidiously. Newsday says some 20 people received an email detailing the allegations, and your humble correspondent was among those blessed. But Renehan has removed the reference to the publicist from his web site, so everyone should be happy now! He’s also demoted his Roosevelt book “The Lion’s Pride” to a mention of it’s audio-book, although it is still in print.
Dick’s Last Trick?
The Nixon Blog continues it’s perversely Nixon-centric view of the universe, offering up Obama early adopter and Weatherman William Ayers‘s lack of jail time as the price the nation paid for poor Dick Nixon’s crucifiction.
Defender onto death and former Nixon Library head John Taylor explains how the crimes against Nixon echo down the ages.
“If everyone knows that William Ayers and his comrades in the Weather Underground were planning to set bombs to murder innocent people, why didn’t they do time?
Because the investigation against them was muffed thanks to the illegal activities of the Washington Post’s favorite Watergate answerman himself, Mark Felt — aka Deep Throat. ..Now we know the truth. If it hadn’t been for Mark Felt, President Nixon might have finished his second term, and William Ayers might have gone to jail.”
Great to see Taylor getting all huffy about illegal break-ins!
Home of the Whopper! 
Ex President Bush caught a fish, and the event will of course be commemorated for all time in the Bush Presidential Library.
There it will join the shrines to tiny foes created 
and destroyed 
and the salutes to Patriot Missiles, which may or may not have helped.
Family Ties 
The Nixon family has long enjoyed a special relationship with African Americans.
And now a Nixon daughter endorses Obama!
The Nixon Library Feud continued by other means! 
Magic Never To Be Repeated 
The Jenna Bush Crawford wedding buildup sheds light on a puzzling past White House wedding.
The Associated Press consults Katherine Jellison, history prof and author of “It’s Our Day,” who points out how Iraq keeps the Bush family from going all out:
“This is going to be such a different kind of situation from Tricia Nixon’s wedding …The frivolity of a big White House wedding in the middle of an unpopular war would have used up what little political capital he has.”
Vietnam, anybody?
