Not quite on par with Newt calling Hilary a beotch . . . but interesting none the less.

"On a personal basis, Rockefeller is a pretty nice guy," Nixon said. "Reagan on a personal basis, is terrible. He just isn't pleasant to be around."

Later, Nixon said Reagan's economic policies were unduly harsh and cautioned against giving him too much credit for winning the Cold War. "Communism would have collapsed anyway," he told Monica Crowley, a Nixon aide in his last years, according to her 1996 book, "Nixon Off the Record."

If Nixon thought him to be 'Strange', he was probably quite normal, by human terms.

Nixon was probably jealous of Reagan cause people liked him and Nixon was so vilified. Reagan and Nixon had very different views despite being Republicans.

Nixon wasn't strange . . . just a little paranoid. Hell, his paranoia would fit in well with the current crop of "Us against the World" political hacks.

No he was weird. Anybody that does speed is weird (including JFK and Hitler)

Bbbbut only rabid liberals would doubt that Reagan won the cold war.

If you were setting a half-bright trap to collect a half-bright menagerie, you couldn?t do better than saying ?Reagan won the Cold War? and waiting to see who argues with you. It?s the intellectual equivalent of a box, a stick and a piece of cheese.

I guess Nixon bit. ;)

Well there is no denying that Reagan made the American People proud to be Americans again after the debacle of the Carter Administration. It's a shame that he wasn't much of a hands on President which enabled his underlings to tarnish his Administration.

Amazing that Americans have such fragile egos . . . nevermind . . . it makes perfect sense.
