I just did some Googling, and found that

1) Rehnquist is a life-long smoker,
2) he's 6'2", tall enough to have left the note on the ledge in the parking garage that was above Woodward's head, and
3) that his wife worked for the CIA.

Hmmmm..... who woulda thunk it?

I'm old enough to remember the whole thing, watched all the hearings live, am familiar with all the characters, was sickened as, bit by bit, the nastiness of the Nixon administration came to light.

It wasn't the Washington Post, or any other media, or Congress, or the Democrats, or anyone else who did Nixon in. He did it to himself. It's all on his tapes, in his own voice.

It's simplistic to dismiss the Watergate scandal as some conspiracy to take down a presidency. Nixon filled the White House with thugs and, unfortunately, did the country a grave disservice by disrespecting the office and his powers. He let his party and his supporters down.

Uh-huh...

LOL...the liberal media was just soooo enamored of Richard Nixon, eh? And you claim you lived through that era and had a functioning medulla oblongata? Can you honestly do that with a straight face? I think we know the answer to that...

Your "version" of those events is sheer crap, period. Peddle that revisionist trollish garbage elsewhere, and to those who don't know any better.

Never mind; I just did a search on your posting history, and read the bulk of your posts to date--what meager shreds of them there were in the brief amount of time you've been with us.

If you're any kind of "conservative," my kitty cat is the King of Siam.

Cute the way you've managed to cruise under the ZOT radar, though, I must confess.

So far

You were sickened by it?

Did you throw up when Uberliar John Dean got a slap on the wrist?

Or when you found out that HE was the brains behind the break-in?

Tell me, please, was the Nixon administration any nastier than the Clinton administration with the Waco massacre, Vince Foster's "suicide", Lewinski's in the Oval Office, Whitewater, approximately 1000 FBI files(enemies list), numerous items exposed by Gary Aldrich in UNLIMITED ACCESS, Hillary's missing financial records that mysteriously reappeared, wholesale termination of US Attorneys in order to pack the federal courts, plus other examples of nastiness and corruption ad infinitum? Nixon at least had the decency to resign the office prior to impeachment proceedings-where was Clinton's decency and lack of nastiness?

If you are old enough to remember Nixon's nastiness, logic dictates you're old enough to remember the Clinton Administration.
