I was saying that while Clinton's dishonesty disquiets me, that your comparison of her to Nixon is AFAIK unfair to her.It's funny you should say that. I've come to believe that the melodrama about the horror of Nixon's actions has been largely overblown, and that his chief mistake compared to other politicians was to make a major gaff in his awareness of being recorded. That may very well be true, but as to a case that one can make by indisputable evidence, Nixon looks worst to me as far as lying and being smug about it.

I'm curious why Al lumps me with Cherry, since the last 3 posts I've made here are actual agreement with Al as to Nixon vs Hillary.
