#Democrats have an unseemly love for Dick Nixon just as they fawn over Ronnie Raygun (Pres. Barack Obama's favorite President!) and the Bush family and heck let's throw Strom Thurmond and George Wallace in there. The mainstream Democrats are extremely forgiving of the openly white-supremacist Republicans, and Joe Biden (D-Dow Chemical) was quite chummy with that set.
I mean, he founded the Environmental Protection Agency! Look how well that's worked out.

What can be done with Richard Nixon? I mean aside from writing fanfic. There's so much Dick Nixon fanfic. Alan Moore's WATCHMEN posits that Nixon (with the tacit support of Doctor Manhattan looming behind him) simply had himself made President-for-Life and he's still running things. That's a restless undercurrent in the legend of Richard Nixon, the feeling that he really wanted to just go on being President and might almost have pulled it off. He certainly had no respect for elections and festered with hatred at the necessity of marketing himself. (cont'd)
