Quote of the Day

"I've honestly only seen upside at this point. Wherever we go people say that my grandfather was their favorite president."

-- Christopher Nixon Cox (R), quoted by the Washington Post, on using "his family's political legacy as a springboard to political office."

1. Perhaps they are very selective about where they go

:shrug:

[Lex]

17. LOL!

You must be right about that.

20. Note he didn't say "everyone says,"...

he just said that "Wherever we go, people..."
Meaning that maybe one or two people tell him that, everywhere he goes.

2. It's a shame

because if you take away Vietnam and Watergate, Nixon would have been a decent president. Unfortunately, Vietnam and Watergate were not trivial affairs.

[Rebubula]

21. To be fair...

...Nixon inherited Vietnam.

Watergate...that was all Nixon.

[TwilightGardener]

3. Favorite DISGRACED president, maybe?

7. People are polite

How many people, that he'll meet, would be rude enough to walk up to someone and bitch about their dead father. The only people who are going to say anything are those that can at least SAY that sentence, whether they actually mean it or not. Even I don't really want to "visit the fathers sins upon the son".

[Arkana]

9. HAAAARROOOOOOOO

People have gotta know whether their President's a crook.

Well, I'm not a crook. I've earned everything I've got.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

11. He's got my vote in 2012!

[Arkana]

12. NIXON'S BAAAACCCKKKKKK!!!!!!

Listen here, you drugged-up Communist! I paid for this body fair and square!

[pinboy3niner]

[SemiCharmedQuark]

18. Morbo congratulates our gargantuan cyborg president. May death come quickly to his enemies.

[Arkana]

22. I'm never giving this body back! Just like I wouldn't give back our little cocker spaniel dog,

Checkers!

Checkers: BARK!

SHUT UP, DAMMIT!!!

[Toasterlad]

10. Everyone Looks GREAT In the Shadow of Bush.

[Skidmore]

13. Ah, yes...Richard Milhouse Nixon, the gift that keeps on giving.

I think of him fondly every time I see one of his henchmen on teevee commenting on their latest assault on democracy.

[KittyWampus]

23. And yet Nixon looks so moderate compared to today's Republican offerings.

[Skidmore]

25. He created today's vitriol. Nixon operationalized

the Southern Strategy.

[mitchum]

14. I find Nixon to be the most fascinating president...

but I have a deep interest in sick individuals and tragicomedy

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

16. "...Wherever we go people suck up to me in hope of getting favors..."

"...because I'm the grandson of a former president and they hope I have money and power to distribute to sycophants."

Fixed.
