2. Probably revisionist crap worthy of Pravda

He's been out of office for 40 years and dead for 20. Time to start cleaning up his image. Pretty soon all of us that remember what a low life crooked piece of shit he was will be gone and it will be time to put him up on Mt Rushmore.

Along with Ronnie.

3. That's what I'm thinking too. I watched Watergate constantly, Nixon was dirrrrtttty...n/t

4. Nixon also left a toxic legacy and swamp from which other slimy, evil creatures slithered forth. n/t

5. an antidote: interview with John Dean who waded

through all the Nixon tapes to transcribe all that related to watergate: http://www.salon.com/2014/08/08/john_dean_on_richard_nixon_hes_in_the_middle_of_this_its_for_him_blessed_by_him/

It's a good read.

6. I guess it's being run again in response to the excellent program from HBO

Nixon by Nixon http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/tv/hbos-nixon-by-nixon-on-tape-the-heart-of-darkness/2014/08/03/42a7355c-1926-11e4-85b6-c1451e622637_story.html

All his own words from tapes and press conferences, etc.

Damning. Really damning. The guy was a nasty, racist, bigoted, authoritarian a$$hole
of the worst order.
