Compared to the dirty tricks of the LBJ administration (which the WaPo knew about), Nixon was a saint.
I wouldn't call ending our involvement in Indochina, something to be proud of to have as a legacy, considering what happened in Cambodia soon afterwards.
Zactly!
Don't forget what happened to Manuel Miranda and the memos by the Rats on obstructing Bush's judicial nominees.
I'll drink to that.
