During the last few weeks, there has been a wave of Nixon-related material floating about. First, one of my blogrolled reads, No Sense of Place, pointed to an online reprint of Hunter S. Thompson's scathing eulogy written on the occasion of Nixon's death. I don't share Thompson's heated views, but I found it worthwhile--if only to see Bebe Rebozo's name in print.

Then my friend Neilalien unexpectedly linked to a poster of Nixon bowling. Suitable for framing, I think.

Next, several ex-Watergate folk came crawling out of the woodwork to comment on Bush's deceptions regarding Iraq's WMDs. Most notably, John Dean, of all people, published an article exploring the legal issues surrounding Bush's misleading statements and whether impeachment was a possibility.

Before I could ask myself WWND? (What Would Nixon Do?), U.S. senators were giving speeches referring to the administration's "prevarications." Columnist Paul Krugman upped the ante by using the word "lies."

I found it hard to know what to make of it all, until I stumbled upon Betty Bower's new Bush/Jesus '04 election campaign headquarters. Because, as Betty would say, destroying the country is an 8 year job!
