Debbie Schlussel: What's That Rustling Sound I Hear?


By Debbie Schlussel

It's the sound of Richard Nixon and Dwight D. Eisenhower simultanously turning over in their graves:

Julie Nixon Eisenhower, a daughter of former Republican president Richard Nixon, is supporting Democrat Barack Obama's presidential bid.

Eisenhower has donated $2,300 to the Illinois senator's campaign, the maximum primary season donation allowed under federal campaign finance regulations.

The former first daughter isn't the only member of the Eisenhower family supporting Obama's White House run. In February, her sister-in-law Susan Eisenhower endorsed the Illinois senator in a Washington Post op-ed.

Nixon's got nothin' on Tricky Barack.
