Last night’s special screening of the new movie “Frost/Nixon” in Washington, D.C., film producer Ron Howard paralleled the abuse of power of the Nixon administration with the abuses of power of our current President. Chris Wallace (man in picture), a news anchor for Fox News would have none of it. Below is his response to Ron Howard when the microphone was passed around to the screening audience and landed in Wallace's hands...
"Richard Nixon's crimes were committed purely in the interest of his own political gain...I think to compare what Nixon hat 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. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/dec/02/fox-news-journalist-defends-bush/
Ron Howard had no reply.
