Please reread his comment. He didn't claim Nixon was a saint. He implied
Nixon's actions in office and personal ethics were on a higher plane
than those of the current officeholder. Whether or not one agrees with
his conclusion, it is an interesting argument that seems possible to
make. That should give us all pause, more about ourselves and our
present perceptions and standards regarding federal politics than about
anything else.
