Richard Nixon: Gay?

The more adventurous poster could make a Roger Federer reference here, but alas, I am not that poster.

 

article says author alleges:

That the future president sabotaged the 1968 peace talks for political gain
By the time Nixon became president in 1969, he had linked to the mob for more than two decades and, as president, had a close connection with New Orleans boss Carlos Marcello, the most powerful Mafioso in the nation
The president had a drinking problem and top aides referred to him as "Our Drunk"
Nixon had a misogynist streak and was abusive toward first lady Pat Nixon
Testimony alleging that the president had ordered the killing of White House reporter Jack Anderson


Other than all that, prolonging the Vietnam War, and Watergate... He was a damn good president.

 

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

Jeez, if you can't have fun at the expense of Nixon on a journalism board, what the fuck is the world coming to?

 

Sounds like a beautiful bromance.

 

Compared to JFK and LBJ, he must have seemed celibate.

 

"Sock it ... to me?"

Puts that moment in a whole new light.

 

I've always thought the "I Like Ike and Dick" was one of the greatest political pinbacks of all time.

 

Dick's got moves like Jagger?

 

Role playing, damn it. She loved it.

 

So when Nixon said he had a "mandate" after the '72 elections, he literally meant he had a "man date."

 

Makes me wonder now if Johnny Carson knew something when he made about of jokes about Nixon and Rebozo.
