4. Just finished reading the original article. Dick Nixon comes out sounding more paranoid and evil...

......every time some new revelation comes out!

I remember when Madame Tussaud's (The wax museum in London!) conducted a poll asking: "Who are the ten most hated people in history?" Hitler and Stalin topped the list, of course; but, Tricky Dick came close!

I also remember the last few years of his life, when the Republicans, aided and abetted by the media, were trying to rehabilitate his image and portray him as "an elder statesman!" God, what a travesty! Jimmy Carter is an elder statesman; Bill Clinton can be regarded as an elder statesman. Nixon was a unindicted traitor and war criminal.

When he died, the Clinton administration asked for flags to be flown at half-mast for 30 days in tribute. My response to this: "I just hope they remembered to drive a stake through his heart!"
