The Gannon story would be a great way to start so I would agree withg you.

MSNBC is said to be preparing a new program that will feature the anchoring duo of Ron Reagan, Jr. and Monica Crowley. Crowley is a former foreign policy aide to Richard Nixon and comes to MSNBC following a stint as a Fox News political analyst.

Over the years she has also been busy writing books and magazine and newspaper articles, often about Nixon. The only problem is that her authorship, at least on one occasion, appears not to be her own work. The filching was reported at the time by Timothy Noah for Slate.

In August of 1999, Crowley wrote an article for the Wall Street Journal commemorating the 25th anniversary of Nixon's resignation. Four days after the article ran, the paper published the following:

"There are striking similarities in phraseology between "The Day Richard Nixon Said Goodbye," an editorial feature Monday by Monica Crowley, and a 1988 article by Paul Johnson in Commentary magazine ... Had we known of the parallels, we would not have published the article."

10. I want to know how old she is

She's either much older than she looks or she was working for Nixon when she was 12 years old.

11. I want to know who her plastic surgeon is

Cuz I was thinking the same thing.

[AlCzervik]

12. she served on his staff from 90'to 94'

[HootieMcBoob]

13. OK, that makes sense

I sort of figured that it had to be after he was President.

I just keep hearing that "she worked for Nixon" which sort of implies that she worked for him when he was an elected official of some sort. Really, who gives a damn that she worked for him after that.

14. When i first saw her and read about her being a Nixon staffer

i was fairly certain she was the living portrait of Dorian grey.
