I wish not to be given a title or an appointed position. I can and will do more good if I were made a Federal Agent at Large, and ...I will help best by doing it my way through my communications with people of all ages. First and Foremost I am an entertainer but all I need is the Federal Credentials.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Just as a large segment of liberal political opinion never could accept Nixon as a "legitimate" president, neither can a large seg...ment of conservative political opinion today accept Clinton's legitimacy in the Oval Office.... Nixon's slash-and-burn politics, Red-baiting and smarmy sanctimony earned him the undying enmity of otherwise tolerant liberals long before he turned the crime of Watergate into a fatal political blunder. For Clinton, draft ducking, toking on a marijuana cigarette and a family life that he acknowledges has not been perfect create the same effect: He is unable to establish moral authority with opponents who might otherwise be open to his centrist style and policies.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The Washington press corps thinks that Julie Nixon Eisenhower is the only member of the Nixon Administration who has any credibili...ty--and, as one journalist put it, this is not to say that anyone believes what she is saying but simply that people believe she believes what she is saying ... it is almost as if she is the only woman in America over the age of twenty who still thinks her father is exactly what she thought he was when she was six.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
But now Nixon has come along and everything I've worked for is ruined. There's a story in the paper every day about him slashing a...nother one of my Great Society programs. I can just see him waking up in the morning, making that victory sign of his and deciding which program to kill. It's a terrible thing for me to sit by and watch someone else starve my Great Society to death. She's getting thinner and thinner and uglier and uglier all the time; now her bones are beginning to stick out and her wrinkles are beginning to show. Soon she'll be so ugly that the American people will refuse to look at her; they'll stick her in a closet to hide her away and there she'll die. And when she dies, I, too, will die.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The trouble with Nixon is that he's a serious politics junkie. He's totally hooked ... and like any other junkie, he's a bummer to... have around: especially as President.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
When will the men do something besides extend congratulations? I would rather have President Roosevelt say one word to Congress in... favor of amending the Constitution to give women the suffrage than to praise me endlessly!LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
