What Political Talkshows Were Like Fifty Years Ago
Political television shows are now hosted by blowhards like Chris Matthews or Keith Olberman, but back in the day most hosts had class. The guest is none other than the father of one US President and grandfather of another, Senator Prescott Bush, Republican of Connecticut.

They certainly were more genteel in the good old days, they didn't even question this Nazi and Hitler enabler about his having his co's assets seized under the "Trading with the Enemy Act"

How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to powerRumours of a link between the US first family and the Nazi war machine have circulated for decades. Now the Guardian can reveal how repercussions of events that culminated in action under the Trading with the Enemy Act are still being felt by today's president
Ben Aris in Berlin and Duncan Campbell in Washington The Guardian, Saturday September 25 2004 Article historyAbout this articleClose This article appeared in the Guardian on Saturday September 25 2004 . It was last updated at 23:59 on September 24 2004. George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.
The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.
His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.
I know a another blow hard who nevers stops commenting over at Joe Mailander's blog.
If any networks are looking for blow hards go to Joe Mailander's blog to see him in action.
Diamond Lou Shapiro aka The Nazi Hunter says

I'm not a huge fan of either of the Georges but Prescott Bush was eloquent , forhtright, and without notes was able to reply to all questions with those attributes. None of which his spawn posess.
