Hillary Rodham Nixon

[Royal Oak Rog]

That's not, however, how Hillary Rodham Nixon works....

One of the best TV reporters in this town, a man with many years experience, told me, "That was truly Nixonian." And that's exactly what it was. Somewhere in the cosmic muck, whatever passed for Richard Nixon's soul had to be quivering in ecstasy. Yes, Tricky Dick — who spent his early career learning and refining the art of character assassination — has a disciple. Someone just as ruthless, unlikable and nasty as he always was.

1. I think comparing Hillary Clinton to Richard Nixon on a Democratic forum is a bit over the top.

Nixon is the second worst President after George Bush.

But no doubt all the Obama cultsters will recommend the hell out of this one.

What a waste of bandwidth.

7. Most definitely. It's almost as bad as saying Obama is less qualified than McCain to be president

Oh wait...

9. You're right. Nixon was more of a liberal.

2. May be a bit too much... there are probably better ways to make your point.

3. OK I'll try again: Hillary has taken her strategy straight out of Tricky Dick's paranoid, press-bash

WHAT PEOPLE FORGET about Clinton is that she is basically a Republican at heart. She campaigned for Barry Goldwater once upon a time and even canvassed poor neighborhoods in Chicago looking for "vote fraud" by Democrats. She was president of the College Republicans at Wellesley.

10. Her first words were "Of course not."

...which is what the writer says her first words ideally should have been (while pretending she didn't say that.)

11. I've said it on here before.

She truly does remind me of Nixon.
