Um, no, I don't think I was making that comparison. I was
questioning the alleged "tacit media agreement" that was one basis
of Blinky's post, by citing evidence that it doesn't exist. Ronnie
recalled similar jibes about Amy Carter.

Were these jibes before or after Miss Carter embarked on her career of
"activism"? Because, as far as I'm concerned, once you start trading
on your famous name, all those agreements (tacit or otherwise) about
leaving you alone are null and void.

And, for that matter, I just recently revisited some David Frye
records (remember him?) that were none too kind to Julie Nixon --
and her hubby, yet another presidential offspring.

During the Watergate scandal, Julie Nixon Eisenhower became a very
public political defender of her father, which clearly put her
squarely in "fair game" territory. I don't know whether Frye's
lampooning was prior to or after that.
