Retro: Jackie Gleason For Richard Nixon

December 2nd, 2008, 8:26 PM EST

I was tooling around Roger Stone’s site. He’s on radio with me Tuesday night.  I came upon this clip of The Great One, Jackie Gleason, endorsing Richard Nixon.  Who knew?



Gleason also had one of the largest occult libraries, and reportedly was shown alien bodies by Nixon in 1973 at Homestead Air Force Base in Florida.  But that’s another story.

  1. How sweet it is.

  2. The boy drank his weight every morning before taking his daily 10 mile drive to and from the liqueur store. I loved the guy, but I’d say his judgment was a bit “dampened” by consumption.

  3. gleason is way before my time. i prefer larry david.

  4. The Great One. God bless’im. I loved 60 Minutes’ Morely Safer’s interview with him.

    “Why do they call you the Great One?”

    “You just saw me shoot pool, didn’tya?”

  5. Roger Stone rocks.

  6. Damn – he looks juiced! What a valuable endorsement – if you want more of the same I can give you the names and addresses of a bunch of places in Far Rockaway and The Bronx where you will get equally informed political analysis.

  7. Who is trying to steal the name Great One. Alan you know this name belongs to Mark R. Levin. Get with the program.
