This man was probably one of the most "decent" men to ever hold the Office.
Where's your proof? I'll bet you don't have any other than that cut from whole cloth by you and your conspiracy theorist friends.
Give it a break.
What is "Meida?" What does "dis" mean? You don't "state" as Speaker. What does "Asaasination" mean? What's a "Nixonite"? What does "singel" mean? The Governor of Texas was named Connolly.

And you want anyone to take you seriously? How can we when you don't even have the common sense to use "SpellCheck."

It was an easy, inexpensive, essentially controversy-free way to fill news space. There were lots of opportunities for good pictures, commentary and nostalgia for readers old enough to remember those times and a chance to be informative for younger ones.
This sounds cynical, but it's not really so bad. American journalism is in trouble not only because owners and managers of the media are focused so intently on profits, but also because it takes too much work by readers to stay abreast of a very complicated world, so many just don't.
So the media coasts like this when it can, hoping for opportunities to do better. Most commercial enterprises do the same.

That is what we do with dead presidents. The last democratic president to die was Johnson, and Nixon had to say nice things about him and give federal employees the day off. President Johnson’s body lay in state at the LBJ Library in Austin, and then in state in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C.

Dude, all ex-presidents get to lie in state...that's the rule. I know you left-wing nuts don't believe in law and order (law is whatever you want it to be at the moment), but that's how it works.

If you want scandal then study the Clinton administration.
