Jason Maoz hearts Richard Nixon I

[There are four of these]

The Jewish Press honors inveterate liar Richard Nixon on the occasion of the 31st anniversary of his resignation from the presidency with a front page love letter written by Jason Maoz, senior editor and scourge of liberal Jews. A choice tidbit:
From his earliest days in Congress... Nixon was anathema to liberal Jews, who early on came close to derailing his political career. Just weeks before the 1952 presidential election... the New York Post, at the time a Jewish-owned, liberal newspaper, splashed this across its front page: "Secret Nixon Fund! Secret Rich Men`s Trust Fund Keeps Nixon In Style Far Beyond His Salary."
Maoz doesn't quite suggest the the idea was concocted in the smoke-filled back room of a Reform Temple but he comes close, doesn't he?
