zasel says:

Many people believed George W. Bush would walk in the shoes of Ronald Reagan. But once he got into office, he became apparent he was really Richard Nixon redux. One of the most obvious clues to this is his dependency of Karl Rove. He was around for Nixon to, ya know. Some things and people, never change.
