KT –

In case they think everyone's forgotten, please tell the High Sheriffs this comment format still sucks. It ain't gonna fix itself.

I was unable to watch Morning Joe today; I underwent a colonoscopy instead. On balance, I prefer the latter.

The scary/interesting thing is that I can hear Nixon's voice when I read these quotes. Or at least, the caricature of Nixon's voice that I've heard over the years on TV.

lol thats AWESOME! What a small small man who some how managed to get elected to our nation's highest office. I propose that Presidential candidates should have to go through a full pscyh eval and they should have to take a competency test that includes constitutional questions as well as a series of current events questions dealing solely with universally recognized facts. I think imma make up an online petition for that initiative

Alan Greenspan quote on Nixon:
.
"A member of the Clinton administration once was accusing Nixon of anti-Semitism, and I said, 'You don't understand. He wasn't exclusively anti-Semitic. He was anti-Semitic, anti-Italian, anti-Greek, anti-Slovak ... He hated everybody.'"

KT here-- Another one, which I keep taped to my door (I just love these old Nixon quotes); On Sept. 19, 1971, two days after the retirements of Justices Hugo black and John Marshall Harlan, Nixon tells Haldeman on the tapes: "I'm not for women in any job. I don't want any of them around. Thank God we don't have any in the cabinet."

When new tapes come out, I like to compare to the Haldeman Diaries....

KT -- I remember Nixon asking Dan Rather at a press conference, " Are you running for something?" and Rather answering, "No sir, are you?"

KT here-- SG: Yes, they don't make them like Nixon any more. On the bulletin board above my desk, I have a copy of a WH memo to Haldeman written on June 2, 1971, where Nixon complains: "I hope you will note the next time you are talking to Ziegler, Scali and Klein that in this first press conference after the appearance at the White House Correspondents Dinner where I played the "good sport" role, the reporters were considerably more bad-mannered and vicious than usual. The bears out my theory that treating with considerably more contempt is in the long run a more productive policy."
