From last night's Colbert Report, interviewing Craig Crawford, author of Attack the Messenger : How Politicians Turn You Against the Media:

Colbert: Has anyone done it as well as the--Bush and his people?

Crawford: Actually, the best was Abraham Lincoln. When a New York newspaper was publishing a document that had been forged, he hand-wrote an executive order and ordered his general to close the newspaper, and arrest all of the reporters and editors, even the newspaper boys who were delivering the papers.

Colbert: And he was the first Republican president.
