only exceeding Richard Nixon in personal vendetta asshattery.
What the fuck?
Nixon had a habit of seeing enemies that weren't there.  And you know that.
Nixon also had a lot of real enemies who would stop at nothing to destroy him.  And you know that.

Not to dispute the article, but I don't think it's right to call Nixon glib.

Isn't it saying he is a glib Richard Nixon? As in "richard Nixon, but glib"

Yes, it is.  This is the importance of commas, folks.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

So does everyone.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You should stop using him as your avatar.  You're not even a US citizen.  How'd you like it if people ran around with Pierre Trudeau avatars?

If we had a national primary, that might mean something.

Nixon was the greatest man of his era.  He deserves to be honoured around the world.

I'd hate it, but that has nothing to do with people not being Canadian citizens.

Now if people wanted to run around with a Deifenbaker avatar... :w00t:

How the hell is Mr third wife doing so well in these primaries? what happened to the religious right?

They like him because he has the balls to openly what they wish they could get away with.

Considering, he has a nerve to at the same time oppose gay marriage because of "sanctity of marriage" and was one of the most bloodthirsty sharks after Clinton for the Lewinsky affair, I think this just proves that Republican voters are a bunch of racist homophobic scumbags.

Valmy

Racist?  Or are you one of the ones who hold that Clinton was in fact the first black president of the US?  :P
