“It’s a great country, where anybody can grow up to be president . . . except me.”

Nixon was the most dishonest individual I have ever met in my life. He lied to his wife, his family, his friends, his colleagues in the Congress, lifetime members of his own political party, the American people and the world.

The Republicans have a positive talent for self-destruction.

We have enough trouble with women without giving them M16 rifles.
