This must have been a tough week for Nixon's family

[WI_DEM]

His daughters (remember Julie and Tricia) and his grandkids (thank god their last names are not Nixon but Cox and Eisenhower!), but all week long the talking heads have been talking about how Ford inherited a disgraced presidency and how Ford brought dignity and a human touch back to that office. How Ford helped "heal" the country.

I'm not codoning Dick Nixon, but it couldn't have been an easy week for them to have Watergate and the pardon and all of that brought back to the forefront.

1. Yes

I imagine it was.

But it's that eternal shame that Nixon carried that was his ultimate punishment.

2. Tricia Nixon Cox heard it first hand, she was at the Rotunda the first night.

3. I was wondering if any of them were there.
