Richard Nixon was an outspoken sort. I think this is a lot to do about nothing. Sure, the liberals and the Tom Brokaws are going to smile ear to ear, as his did last night. It always amazes me how liberals like Brokaw are supposedly champions of minorities, Jews, yet why doesn't he give up his anchor job to a 'More Qualified Person", maybe a black, or a Jew?......

Richard Nixon was an outspoken sort.

Richard Nixon was a filthy-mouthed, unregenerate, power hungry, unindicted co-conspirator who resigned from office in disgrace.

I recall while in college, one morning in a Speech class, the prof asked the small class what they thought of Watergate. We looked at him and each other, having not heard of it. It was in that infant stage of breaking as a story. There were anti-Nixon sentiments by lots of students, but not ones like me, being the chair of my campus Republican club. i recall doing a paper on President Nixon, not necessarily the most popular politician of his time, but the most recognizable and visible. I admired the fighting spirit in him. He was a Quaker who served in the Navy, when Quakers were not expected to serve, and though he fumbled the Watergate mess, he was a brilliant man, and to this day, I'm not afraid to say, he remains one of my favorite presidents of all time.
