... “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 filmmaker’s 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.

Say Anything —
... We have two films slated for the screen this weekend that are sure to spark debate. Ron Howard’s adaptation of Peter Morgan’s award-winning Frost/Nixon is, according to the director, some kind of reverse-pretzel-half-pipe-timeline commentary (read: ass-backwards logic) on George Bush’s presidency. Be that as it may, Frost/Nixon (at least the play, we’ll see about the movie) was a prophetic conviction of today’s journalistic standards. ...
