"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

6. I liked what Doonesbury had Dubya saying when he was told of the quote:

7. Of course, the GOP right of his day conspired to deny him the nomination

in 1912, so he ran as a Bull Moose Progessive and forced the Republican incumbent into third place.

He was a good environmentalist, but also an imperialist of the first water, so you got a mixed bag with TR.

He would've hated it that Nixon quoted him in his resignation speech.
