both crockett and the alamo remain ensnared in clouds of myth. in the end, crockett was a uniquely american character and a formidable hero in his own right. he should not be judged by his death but, rather, by his life including the good, the bad and the shades of gray. consider him a legend and a hero, but always bear in mind that he was a man willing to take a risk. that was what he symbolized, and that is how he should be remembered. mr. crockett.

now obviously for me the mythology of davey crockett cements itself at the alamo. but even that story, you know, he is said to have invented texas. did he go there, the idea is he went down there to fight for liberty in texas. >> he went down there to rebuild his career. he had been voted out of congress largely because he stood up against his president and former political mentor andrew jackson over the issue of indian removal. the trails of tears that lead to where i now live, oklahoma. aka indian territory. crockett had seen the horrendous atrocities of the creek war. he wanted no more of that he said to jackson you've messed with these people enough. let them be. and he was the only member of the tennessee delegation to vote against the bill. he stood up to his party, to his constituents. we need more people like that in congress. >> i think so. >> i would think so. >> so he went down to texas. >> and he went down to texas. >> so jackson found the candidate to run against him. as crockett liked to point out, a one legged man. they voted him out. and that's when

one is the last stand, the alamo, and the third is the gunfight at o.k. corral. the question is why? do we really need another book on the gunfight at the o.k. corral. >> not only evidence why we need another book on the gunfight at the o.k. corral. them produce, if it had been written by critics who don't consider themselves experts in the subject of a tombstone or the gun fight or the american frontier. all claiming that it is a book of revisionist history by which they mean it is just shocking to them that these things in the book are actually fact. one reviewer said he was stunned to learn that the battle to and actually occur in the okay corral, but in a vacant lot some yards away. i think we can think bill breckinridge and stored lake and some others for that. i think trying to write later about the gunfight at the vacant lot near but not at the o.k. corral doesn't have the same ring throughout history. [laughter] people also seem to be astonished that instead of talking about cardboard cutout participants we are talking about real human beings, men of thei

it's always the alamo, mike. they're always with their back against the wall. i think what threatens them the most is winning. which they just did big time. boehner bragging, they got 98% of what they wanted. but that takes away their victim status. i think just for the sake of fair play, to make it interesting, once in a while, they should let obama win one. because otherwise it's just boring and the other kids go home. >> do you think that michele bachmann can really ride victimhood to the presidential nomination of her party? >> absolutely not. i think the republican nomination is going to come down to man know mano-a-mano. as soon as rick perry gets in, he will suck up all the -- or most of the crazy vote that's divided now between bachman and santorum and whatever other mouth breathing wing nuts are out there. i know there's a lot of them on the republican side. i haven't memorized the whole roster. i think rick perry quickly becomes that part. and then it's -- you know, it's the old school plutocratic wing of the republican party represented by mitt romne
