Nixon, man..you were really an amateur when it came to lying. Now, when Truman identified Tokyo to the American people as a "military target" and killed nearly 100,000 people in minutes..now that was a real, knowing lie. JFK, RFK..the myriad affairs while parading themselves as good Catholic's, their still-standing record for
unauthorized wiretaps, including MLK..the stolen elections..a family built on lies.
Reagan and Iran Contra..George H.W. Bush and Iran Contra..lies, lies and more lies...many historians say a far greater challenge to the Constituion than Watergate ever was. Hillary and Bill..Whitewater, Monica, their charade of a "marriage"..like the Kennedy's..lives built on lies. Bush/Cheney...well, they're in a league all their own...the truth is totally foreign to both of them. Nixon, man..the press always characterized you as a liar, because they hated you, when really, you were very run-of-the mill when it comes to deception.
Remember what David Geffen, one of the Clinton's former friends said..."It's not just that the Clinton's lie..it's that they do it with such ease." Think about it Dick..you sweat through every lie..I guess that means that while you weren't as cool at the Kennedy's or Clinton's..at least you had a conscience.
