Of course, he did invite Elvis to the White House. He doesn't get
enough credit for that.

He didn't invite him; Elvis got on a plane and flew to DC, showed up at the
White House gate and presented a letter he composed on the plane. He was
requesting a DEA badge (laugh). Not only that but he was carrying a pistol
that he intended to give to Nixon as a gift. Tricky Dick did grant him an
audience, but that's not really an invite.

Ah, throw the man a bone, will ya? The photograph of The King and The
Trickster
is such classic pop-culture that Nixon deserves our gratitude.

Agreed, it's a classic!

Could you imagine me or you showing up at the White House door in a
rhinestone studded jump suit asking to see the president?

We would be on the next plane to Guantánamo!

Thank you very much................

While packing heat, no less.

Look at the consensus we've built. Doesn't it fill you with holiday
cheer? Who says there's no hope for reasoned discussion among those
who disagree?

(Seriously - this does highlight the value of pop culture. It is a
great tool for mitigating serious gulfs in viewpoint.)
