Whew! That was close! The Washington Post nearly went a full day with an article slamming a Republican.
They did break a sweat, however, having to pick one that has been out of office for 35 years, and dead for 15. But, hey, when things get desperate....

I know a really funny joke about Nixon's lack of a sense of humor (or at least the inability to tell a decent joke), but it unfortunately requires telling a very dirty joke within the joke.
Ah, well. Some may remember the joke I'm referring to. It went around about the same time as that pic of Nixon on the beach in wingtips did.
