Nixon tapes confirm: Reagan is 'Strange'

[Stuie]

Gotta love them Nixon tapes. The hits just keep on coming.....

NIXON: "Reagan is not one that wears well."
HALDEMAN: "I know."
NIXON: "On a personal basis, Rockefeller is a pretty nice guy. Reagan on a personal basis, is terrible. He just isn't pleasant to be around."
HALDEMAN: "No, he isn't."
NIXON: "Maybe he's different with others."
HALDEMAN: "No."
NIXON: "No, he's just an uncomfortable man to be around, strange."

This, coming from Nixon? Suddenly i like Reagan a bit more...

[chequita guevara]

Nixon isn't someone I'd really consider a good judge of character.

[Winston]

This is great.

Now a good deal of the lefties' heads will explode because they can't decide which one of the two they hate more.

[Q Classic]

what are you talking about, commie? nixon was a fine upstanding individual who won viet-nam!

[Tripledoc]

Nixon was a very insecure person, was he not? Neurotic perhaps.

[rah]

I'm not sure if Reagan is the one that comes off looking strange in that exchange.

[chequita guevara]

My thoughts exactly, Rah.

[Sava]

they are both evil nutbags... but I'll pity Reagan a little bit because his Alzheimer's probably was affecting him earlier than most people think.

I wonder if a bunch of right-wing special interest groups will get Nixon to say these things on Showtime... oh wait, he's dead...

[Theben]

It's not nice to speak ill of the dead...and that includes the brain dead...

So this thread should be closed.

Maybe Reagan was unpleasant to Nixon for a reason .

[MrFun]

Nah -- Reagan is unpleasant to anyone with good sense -- period.
