The "Deep Throat" revelations this week have kicked up some of the old Watergate dust, with folks who supported him and hated him going at it again.

But Oliver Willis writes this striking note to Ben Stein (and, it seems, others who worked for and admired Nixon):

Your boss, Richard Nixon, was a common crook hiding out in the people's White House. The sooner you admit that is the closer you'll get to reality.

Evidently, he's not happy with folks who believe stuff like this about Nixon:

As a public man, he always seemed to believe the greatest sin was remaining passive in the face of challenges, and he never stopped living by that creed. He gave of himself with intelligence and energy and devotion to duty, and his entire country owes him a debt of gratitude for that service.

Who said that? Peggy Noonan? Pat Buchanan? How about: Bill Clinton.

A rap-sheet comparison between Nixon and Clinton could go on for volumes when talking about issues such as lying, obstruction of justice, personal financial ethical problems, abuse of power and on and on. But to what end? After all, it was a group of liberal Bush-haters who gave currency to the phrase, "Move on." Some of their brethren may want to consider it when it comes to Nixon.
