Fox News journalist Chris Wallace on Monday evening defended President Bush against criticism by Hollywood filmmaker Ron Howard that the president has abused his office in a way similar to President Richard Nixon.
"Richard Nixon's crimes were committed purely in the interest of his own political gain," Mr. Wallace told Mr. Howard before an audience of a few hundred after viewing the filmmakers new film "Frost/Nixon," which is about the only U.S. president to resign from office.
"I think to compare what Nixon did, and the abuses of power for pure political self preservation, to George W. Bush trying to protect this country — even if you disagree with rendition or waterboarding — it seems to me is both a gross misreading of history both then and now," Mr. Wallace said.
I can understand what Mr. Wallace is saying. There are big differences between Bush and Nixon. Nixon was a smart man, Bush is not. During speeches Nixon sweat big time. During speeches Bush f*cks up the English language big time. There is one thing Mr. Wallace that they do have in common and that is they both were two of the worst presidents ever.
