Rosemary Woods tearfully explains how she erased Secret Service texts.

"It was my fault,"Ms Woods testified. "I was stretching to reach for my reading glasses and I accidentally hit the "move to trash button" while all of the text messages in question were highlighted. Then I tried to recover the messages from "Trash" but accidentally permanently deleted them instead. It was totally an accident."

6. We have to remember the only reason Nixon didn't get to remain in power

is his fellow repubs, some of them, did the right thing. Though you wonder why they did.

Not really what they are known for.

The Tangerine Fuhrer was elated when he heard that.

9. If I had a friend like Miss Rosemary Woods

How easy my life would be
I’d just take all my troubles and give them to her
And she would erase them for me
