"disgraced former President Nixon"

Just like never seeing (D) in a news title when its a democrat scandal, you never see "disgraced" former President clinton.

I have nothing but contempt for Ron Howard these days, based on a number of recent comments that he has made.

He’s right up there with Cindy Sheehan and Michael Moore. He can go entertain himself.

I can’t wait to see it - especially the part where John Dean plans the break-in to steal the black book of DNC hookers that includes his girlfriend (future wife).

"All that’s missing is a point. "

Trashing a Republican is always point enough in and of itself for Hollywood lefties and those suffering their disease.

This is a chance for media people to congratulate themselves vicariously for Frost having the “courage” to interview Nixon, as if he were climbing into the ring with Mohammed Ali.

So, what did he think, Nixon was going to get him in a neck hold and give him a Dutch Rub on national TV?

When in fact, the risk was completely on Nixon’s part. He went into the interview having to trust that he would get a fair hearing, and that Frost wouldn’t try to embarrass him on national TV. Not a lot to ask, you would think, but now every media person in the world is looking to make their bones humiliating Republicans, so getting a fair hearing is almost an impossibility.

So when are we going to see Frost grilling Obama about Rezko and Mansour? When are we going to see him corner a sweating trembling Bill Clinton demanding to know the truth about his myriad financial ghosts?

Do you think he was ever going to interrogate Lyndon Johnson about how he became a billionaire on a public salary?

It would never happen. Nixon wasn’t the prince of darkness, he was just a man looking for fair treatment in a TV interview. Thats it.

I assume the ads for this ummm, ahh, piece of work represent the best parts and they stink. The characters are caricatures of those involved.

David frost is the relentless hero pursuing the corrupt president?? Please! And the “Nixon” part? The guy playing him sounds like a croaking frog.

As a young man I watched what happened during those years and just from the ads I can see it's propaganda from Oppie Dopie.

I'm wondering why this movie about Pres. Nixon and David Frost is rated 'R.' It takes a lot today to get an 'R' rating.
