Showing how really stupid the American public can be. Nixon was a known liar and general bad guy for years before he ran for president. In 1950, he slandered Helen Gahagan Douglass whom he bashed as a communist ("pink right down to her underwear") when running for the Senate, and he worked as an investigator for the infamous Joseph McCarthy.
When he ran for governor of California and he lost, I personally saw him on TV as he stepped out of that elevator and said, "You won't have Nixon to kick around, anymore." Then he gave us Nixon to kick around some more... but not hard enough. :disgust: Nixon was a full fledged asshole. After Watergate, he should have spent the rest of his miserable life in prison. :| :| :|
And if you're thinking of asking, yes, that
IS how I really feel.
