I mean NIXON! "I am not a crook."

And of course Iran Contra....

We've had liars and crooks... big ones (makes lying about a BJ look like what it was...nothing)

I think what makes Bush Jr. so different is he's not remotely in charge. Even Ronnie Raygun seemed more in the middle of it. Bush is the 1st President not to be in charge at all. Just a fund raiser and TV personality while others, who no one voted for or even liked enough to be on TV in an engaging way (now who could I be talking about?) ran things from an undisclosed location.

Nixon and Reagan were trial versions of the Cardboard Cutout President (Reagan) who is really a committee that does as it pleases (Nixon).... perfected with Bush.
