SAFIRE IS SCARING UP THE GHOSTS AGAIN
Checking In With the Old Boss

I don’t know whether William Safire works from home or from an office in the New York Times Building, but if it’s the latter, I’d suggest colleagues steer clear. He’s talking to dead people again.

This time it’s with former President Richard Nixon.

Today the Nattering Nabob of Necromancy provides readers with a script of their chat, which happens to center around the performance of President George W. Bush.

Nixon -- who Safire reports is in purgatory, not hell, for the “sin of imposing wage and price controls” and nothing else -- approves and, more than that, thinks Bush’s re-election is in the bag.
