Nixon was wrong...

...when he said





"You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore..."
Thanks to his own Oval Office taping system,
     The latest audio tapes released by the Nixon Library allow us to hear the President attack the Irish and Jews and Blacks and Italians and...heck, did he like ANYBODY?

“The Jews have certain traits,” he said. “The Irish have certain — for example, the Irish can’t drink. What you always have to remember with the Irish is they get mean. Virtually every Irish I’ve known gets mean when he drinks. Particularly the real Irish.”..


          ...and so forth. 16 months after those comments, Nixon was boarding a helicopter to disgraceland.



   While Nixon isn't around to react, Henry Kissinger is. What will he say about this comment in a conversation with Nixon?





“The emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union is not an objective of American foreign policy,” Mr. Kissinger said. “And if they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern. Maybe a humanitarian concern.”


[PLUS: As  I was saying...read this article from 12/17 in The NY Times.]
