Nixon's Best Friend

[mecch]

The Life magazine cover is so winky winky. It seems to support the contention in this book from a few years ago, that they were life long lovers. And insiders knew.  How about that cover quote: "On the golf course, Rebozo watches the President's swing." 

Bebe Rebozo was at Nixon's deathbed.  It's rather sweet. If Nixon wasn't so creepy.

A new book by an ex-White House reporter claims that President Richard Nixon was a mobbed-up drunk who beat the First Lady and may have had a decades-long gay affair with a shady Miami-area businessman. ....

Nixon and Rebozo, who the feds believe laundered money for mob kingpins in Florida and Cuba, swam, sunbathed and dined together during guys-only vacations in exclusive Key Biscayne, Fla., and were once spotted holding hands under the table during a dinner with K Street power brokers, according to a report on the book in the Daily Mail.
Another Washington reporter told Fulsom that he once spotted a boozy Nixon nuzzling Rebozo "the way you'd cuddle your senior prom date."
The pair's friendship was no secret to Washington insiders, and the book claims that there were whispers that the two were more than just pals up until Nixon's death in 1994. (Rebozo was by his side. He died four years later.)
