The smog of the wad lies over the heart. Freud is obsolete. To explain Nixon, nothing less than a new theory of personality can now suffice. nybooks.com This was circa 1972, so the YVPers would be in the late 50s demographic, I'd say about the right age for "Tea Party Activists" but it turns out Tea Party demographics are pretty normal age-wise. Might fit the local political professionals, though. Current politics make me positively nostalgic about Nixon, in the way that GWB made me retroactively fond of GHWB. The tricky one probably could have sailed through Watergate without a scratch if he had Fox News covering him, but then again, Nixon would have been at best a socialist by current Roger Ailes standards, maybe even a full blooded commie. Quite ironic for the old red baiter. The sadder part is that the whole Watergate thing seems pretty benign in comparison to the Norquist / Murdoch / Koch bro et al . cabal, aided and abetted by the "money is speech" majority faction of the SCOTUS.. I think I have to swear off following politics for a while, the current spectacle is clearly driving me to distraction. Apologies to the thread for the ramble.
