Like you said both are dead now, so I doubt many, if any, gives a darn about it.
I bet Nixon would have gotten a kick out of the rumor, though. He wasn’t exactly a ladies’ man. He was too up tight and paranoid for that sort of carrying on. It was his paranoia that got him in trouble as it is. Can you imagine, being threatened with impeachment for deleting sixteen minutes of private taped phone messages? That is all they had on him. …and he stepped down to avoid impeachment.
I remember shocking my father in law by saying that the Watergate and Nixon was nothing that wasn’t done in politics all the time, and far worse.
