I hear his head will be running for election against Obama in 2012.
He's running under the newly formed Zombie Party ("It's one heck of a par...BRAAAAINS!").

Seems pretty straightforward to me. You should watch Frost/Nixon, that is a great movie. :thumbsup:

Nixon's mistake was putting Forrest Gump in a hotel across from the Watergate complex. He just couldn't sleep because of the lights he saw... and the rest was history.

They tried to cover up the break-in.
Nixon and his buddies lied.
Truth finally came out, Nixon felt heat, resigned before possible impeachment.

I would love a wikipedia-like website that broke things down like this.

Bulletpoints. Pro/con tables. Just bite-size, consumable chunks of facts.

No kidding! Wiki-Lite FTW!!!!!!
