Also, President of the United States from 1969-1974. His accomplishments included officially recognizing China, keeping a steady hand on the economy, managing the war in Vietnam with a reasonable level of competence, and completely destroying Americans' faith in their political system for generations to come by having the balls to create a massive criminal surveillance infrastructure then desperately trying to cover it up while becoming the laughingstock of the media.
Also, said "Sock it to me" on Laugh-In once. That was cool.

Get the Richard Nixon mug.The Oklahoma state legislature, according to U.S. Representative and 2004 GOP Senatorial candidate Tom Coburn.
Actual transcript, I am not making this up:
COBURN: Look, economic development in southwest Oklahoma is a federal role. Do you really believe that?
MALE CONSTITUENT: To some extent, yes sir.
COBURN: Why?
MALE CONSTITUENT: Uh, because the development that we need is above our means.
COBURN: No it's not. It's because you have a bunch of crapheads in Oklahoma City that have killed the vision of anybody wanting to invest in Oklahoma.

Get the crapheads mug."Bob, let me tell you something: About the only thing I can think of that would be less tolerable than another term under George Bush is - no, wait, I can think of a bunch of things, um... but... uh... one particular thing that I can think of that would be more tolerable... I mean less tolerable... no, more... no less - yeah, cause almost anything would be tolerable... like a lap dance... but, uh, one that would be less tolerable would be to be beaten repeatedly about the loins with a sturgeon."

Get the sturgeon mug.A term for differing schools of political campaign theory, originated by ABCNEWS' The Note internet report referring to the Iowa caucuses of January 2004. "Mo" refers to momentum, or the last-miute media impact of a candidacy, whereas "O" refers to organization, the ground troops of a campaign fomenting a result.
For interest, "Mo" triumphed in Iowa 2004, as the insurgent campaigns of John Kerry and John Edwards soundly defeated the old frontrunners Howard Dean and Dick Gephardt.

Get the mo versus o mug.A myth.
No, really, the campaign tool that worked for Bush in 2000. (Of course, he didn't, technically, WIN, but y'know, he came close enough.) But pretty quickly he realized that, with Tom DeLay running Congress and the media busy taping its own mouth over, he didn't have to do the whole "compassionate" bit.

"Gee, I like that compassionate conservatism Bush practiced."
"When was that? When he cut taxes for the rich while emasculating our social programs? When he denied birth control to AIDS-stricken Third World countries? When he killed thousands of innocent people in a meaningless oil-war?"
"Uh... good point."
