"they don't live like a bunch of dogs which the Negroes do live like"

OMG...I cannot believe that Nixon actually said that on those taped conversations. He also added gems like "they wont last 500 years" and others. I can only imagine the things this administration were saying as all of those poor people in New Orleans were drowning. I am so glad Jon Stewart played this tonight, what a punch in the stomach.

1. Yeah that is just astounding.

Makes you wonder what kinds of things will come leaking out 30 or 40 years after the Bush regime is gone?

5. I'm sure that this administration

will surpass Nixon in the first few years after they are gone. The really good stuff will take 30-40 years, but hopefully most of them are in jail by then.

10. Unfortunately

they don't tape their conversations anymore. I guess its not the smartest thing to do when you're an asshole like Nixon but they are valuable from a historic point of view

2. Nixon was a nasty piece of work, no doubt about it.

But Bush is worse -- much worse. We know that without even hearing any tapes...

3. Someone should send Lynn Swan, Ken Blackwell, et als those tapes

And then ask them why they chose to be GOP again? (I mean other than to be a big fish in a small pond)

As they said here in Baton Rouge during a political campaign..."they are from the same party that brought you David Duke!"

4. I heard one of these tapes where Nixon and Billy Grahm were slamming jews

I don't recall the exact converstion, but it was bad. I couldn't believe that Billy was in on that.

7. Your right, he's not. Especially when you hear the conversation.

It's just sometimes you think you know someone and then you hear them say some ugly things and it pops your bubble. I just expected more out of Grahm than that.

8. Nixon was an ass hole

His tapes repeatedly prove that he was a racist bastard.
