Nixon might have been among the greatest, had he not ****ed up so
royally. He was one smart cookie. Nixon dead has a more jagged brain
wave than Dubya, who is as close to a flatliner as any many alive.


Who told you Nixon was all that?
Our own Pierre Trudeau had him beat in the 'smarts dept.'



I was "around" during most of Nixon's public life. He was
extraordinarily intelligent, but his character flaws, booze, and
emotional problems did him him.

The only part of the Reagan service I saw today was the singing of Ronan
Tynan. What a remarkable voice and style.

Indeed. A very touching ceremony filled with class and grace, as were all
the previous ceremonies. How Nancy (82 years old) stood up so well to this
mentally and physically exhausting week is beyond me.


Regarding your Nixon comment...the same could be said of Clinton, exchanging
booze with sex. He is still scrambling to *rewrite* his Presidential
legacy, as evidenced by his latest book.
