 Nixon Tapes Confirm Sour PersonalityPosted on Dec 2, 2008
The National Archives released another 200 hours of Richard Nixon’s White House recordings on Tuesday, bringing the grand total of publicly available grousing, griping and racially insensitive grumbling to more than 2,200 hours. First Read has collected some of Tricky Dick’s greatest hits.

Nixon was not schooled in political correctness like today’s politicians many of whom may hold the same prejudices but would choke to death before expressing them. Nixon wanted people to hear this stuff. He set up the taping system in his ofice. He didn’t think his language was objectionable.
Report thisWhy is it that the National Archives has become a clearing house for this kind of garbage but they don’t do anything on Jefferson, Lincoln, or Roosevelt? At a time when civil liberties are under attack all we hear about Jefferson is that he fathered children with a black woman.

The timing of this “discovery” is suspicious. Is this supposed to help George Bush look less like a disaster than he does?
