“Damn! Still an element of doubt!”
There is no longer an element of doubt that Richard Nixon sabotaged the Paris peace talks in 1968 to improve his own electoral chances. I am not a lawyer and don’t know if that’s technically treason, but I’m with Charlie Pierce: “Is it too late to dig up Richard Nixon and set his moldering corpse on fire on the National Mall, preferably in front of that portion of the Vietnam Memorial in which are carved the names of every American who died there between the years 1969 and 1972?” Mitch McConnell stands in that proud tradition.
Thanx to Charles P. Pierce.
