Anybody watching the new Nixon biography on the History Channel?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

Fascinating stuff. All about a paranoid, isolated president who spies on American citizens who oppose an unpopular war, and tries to destroy his "enemies."

Not that we could imagine such a thing happening now.

1. I never thought we'd see another paranoid crook like Nixon in our lifetime.

Boy, was I mistaken. Lighter on the paranoid, heavier on the crook, overboard on the incompetence. Bush has single-handedly reformed everyone's image of Dick Nixon. The Decider is the new gold standard. Frankly, I doubt if anyone will ever be as totally bad as this guy has proven to be.
