All Things Considered

[hyphenate]

Hell, I can't hate Richard Nixon anymore. I can still abhor Ronny and 41, but really, in comparison, what any of them did was minor league in comparison to 43.

I mean, Nixon actually did some good while he was in office. Not a whole helluva lot, but enough for him to rise above the pukes that followed him. (Except for Gerald Ford, who kind of just kept the presidential seat warm for awhile.) If we had to rise a monument to a puke president in the last forty years, Nixon is a shoo-in in comparison.

He lied, but when he was caught, he stopped lying. Well, sort of. But he didn't keep on lying to the point where he couldn't tell the truth from the lies. He didn't claim executive privilege and keep on defying the judgments made on his conspiracies. He didn't invade another country in a pre-emptive strike. He only spied on the Democrats at the Watergate hotel. (Well, illegally, that is!! I'm sure there were other incidents, but they don't amount to much next to 43 and Dickhead.)

Let's face it: Richard Nixon was an "okay" guy. In comparison. And that's saying a lot. :)
