Why is Mark Felt revered while Linda Tripp was dumped on?
Oh, right, Nixon was a Republican and Clinton was a Democrat.

Good question, good summary.

...thoroughly corrupt president.
Thoroughly corrupt president?!?!? Let me tell you something, get informed. Richard Nixon was set up like a bowling pin.
John Dean snookered John Mitchell into letting him do the Watergate. Then he let Howard Hunt and Jim McCord get in on the break-in. Now, if you were President, you'd fire the "smoking gun" too.
If you don't know why, go find out. The President was faced with two CIA operatives, both involved in very serious cold war black operations (Bay of Pigs, etc.), being arrested for petty crimes. He told Halderman to get in touch with the Director of the CIA (Richard Helms) and tell him to call off the dogs (FBI).
Any President would have done the same thing. The problem is that the whole daggone thing was a set-up from the get-go. And what we got was millions killed by communists in Southeast Asia, Vietnam syndrome, and the establishment of the leftist press (along with a lot of other leftist crap like President Jimmy Carter).
So carefully consider Richard Nixon, he didn't do anything that a true patriot would not do.

Nixon might have been a Republican, but he was a lefty through and through: deficit spending, the birth of the EPA and OSHA, cuddling up to China, a belief in government’s ability to set market prices — they were hallmarks of his time in office.
Nixon was on the right only in the sense that that he was for Nixon first and last.
