Nixon's The One?

Dick Nixon may not have followed through on his campaign slogan of being 'The One,' (which perhaps puts him in good company with the sitting POTUS, or 'That One,' as he was indelicately described by John McCain in 2008) , and that whole issue of JFK Harvard envy was just sad. However, if this photo is any evidence, working on his campaign trail was at least half as fun as breaking into the Watergate. Even if this photo predated Deep-Throat. Still, we'll defer to the venerable Hunter S. Thompson whose epitaph for Dick Nixon was both uncharitable and probably spot on: http://www.counterpunch.org/thompson02212005.html . Choice line: "Nixon was so crooked that he needed his servants to help him screw his pants on in the morning. Even his funeral was illegal. His body should have been burned in a trash can."
