| Jul-21-06 | | Aspirador: <I am not A Crook!">
I just read this yesterday on http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/List_o...: "I am not a crook" Richard Nixon.
Often attributed to his denial of any foreknowledge of the Watergate break-in, when in fact the question raised in a Press Conference was about his personal finances. |
|
| Jul-21-06 | | RandomVisitor: Nixon was hanging in there and might have avoided resigning until he made the back to back blunders 27.Rxe8? and 28.Kf2?, better were 27.Nde4 and 28.Bb2. The rest is history. |

 | | kevin86: It's funny! Now Nixon is remembered for opening China as much as his faux pas in the white house. The game is not very noteworthy-white will not only be impeached,but also a rook down-so Nixon resigned.LOL |

| Jul-21-06 | | Kreifi: So the game lasted 5 yers. :P
Master of the puns, master. |

| Jul-22-06 | | dakgootje: "To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body. But as President I must put the interests of America first. America needs a full-time President and a full-time Congress, particularly at this time with problems we face at home and abroad." |

| | kevin86: <Euripides> Don't get me started! Let's see:a crooked election,a crooked war,the worst poll numbers in history---need I say more? My choice for #1 would be the current resident:GWB Coward that he was as a youth,He would have resigned before the game even started. |
|
| Jul-22-06 | | Resignation Trap: I wonder what Nixon would have played against the Stonewall Variation. |
|
| Jul-23-06 | | Open Defence: he probably said "I have not a Rook" in this game hehehehe |

| Aug-03-06 | | YouRang: After this game, I understand that he took up checkers. |
|
| Aug-03-06 | | dbquintillion: oh dammit YouRang I was all set to make the checkers joke. I scrolled all the way through the comments and no one had made it until the very last one. Guess I've got to be faster. |

|
| Dec-12-08 | | WhiteRook48: Oh yeah? Nixon said that "I am not A Crook." |

 | | Domdaniel: Great Nixon movies? Not the Stone edifice with Tony 'fava beans' Hopkins. There's a good scene ("They *hate* you, sir...") with Bill Murray as Hunter S Thompson in 'Where the Buffalo Roam', but it's just a cameo. The *great* Nixon movie is 'Secret Honor', directed by Robert Altman. Nixon on his last night in the White House, slurping whiskey and waving a gun ... "The founding fathers was a bunch of English pricks ... blam!" ... while revealing the amazing truth of his heroic self sacrifice. Unsound, of course. |
