      Nixon was not decent. The difference was that a Senator (Goldwater) told Nixon point blank that he was getting impeached and the senate had the votes to convict and remove.

      Like most government officials “retirement” is getting fired.

        They also didn’t have Faux “News”, hate radio, or the Internet back then, either.

        What’s so fucked up is that POS of a FCC chairman just celebrated making it even worse than it already was for truth.
