  Bush=Nixon
Writing in the Times, David Greenberg thinks so.

Both Bush and Nixon, resentful of the supposed cultural dominance of liberals, perfected a conservative populism that vilifies academics, journalists, bureaucrats and other professionals as out-of-touch elites. Both men, hostile to the news media, rigidly prescribed the messages that their staffers could take to the press. Both vaunted secrecy, restricted access to information, and politicized areas of the government once deemed the province of non-partisan experts.

It's also interesting to consider how two men with such different family backgrounds—and different mental capabilities—could wind up with such a similar world view.

Bush is much, much, much worse than Nixon.

That is all.
