YORBA LINDA, Calif. (AP) — Radio show host Hugh Hewitt has been tapped to head a foundation focused on preserving the legacy of former President Richard Nixon, officials said Monday.
The Richard Nixon Foundation said the politically conservative author, commentator and law professor will become its next chief executive in July. Hewitt, who also served in the Reagan administration, helped start Nixon’s presidential library and museum in Yorba Linda, California, nearly three decades ago.
“The world needs to be reminded of President Nixon’s lasting foreign policies, the strategic methods by which he assessed conflict and disagreement, and how he crafted strategies for resolution — building a more peaceful world,” Hewitt said in a statement issued by the foundation.
Today, the presidential library is overseen by the National Archives and Records Administration.
The foundation runs educational programs and supports the library and museum, which was renovated several years ago to include interactive touchscreens and video of Nixon’s speeches in an effort to draw younger audiences.
Hewitt will continue to host his radio show, write columns for the Washington Post and appear as a panelist on NBC’s Meet the Press, the statement said.
A match made in Hell.
Maybe this will finally get Hewitt off the air on MSNBC.
A foundation dedicated to preserving the legacy of Richard Nixon.
Do they have Pat’s Republican cloth coat?
Do they have the stuff carcass of Checkers?
Do they have the tape of Nixon fulminating about Harry Truman in the first debate?
Do they have E. Howard Hunt’s comical red wig?
Do they have a photo of Rosemary Woods showing how she operated the dictaphone tape that led to the 18 1/2 minute delay?
What are the qualifications for being the CEO of an organization representing a disgraced former president that had to quit in shame? What exactly is it they want to promote? Or do they sell a line of shoddy recording devices?
I dunno but Hewitt will be great at it.
Oh good…the rewriting of history (at least this period) has been blessed…and HH will have plenty of opportunities in both writing and TV to repeat the lies over and over again.
