- supportengineer 3y agoImagine any political figure in the United States currently being able to produce a document like this.
- klyrs 3y agoThere are plenty who have that capacity. The striking thing to me is that Nixon sees Clinton as an ally and not an enemy.

But you see the times, somebody got irritated - and since it went to their fingers, I am still in doubt if it was out of having read some irony in the second part, or out of feeling as outrageous the idea that politics is not supposed to be a decadent game of winning battles against "internal enemies".
