14. Nixon's hubris destroyed him

As I recall, McGovern, a bomber pilot and heroic veteran of WWII, lost to a crook who managed to finagle his way into the service but -- by virtue of his family's Quaker background -- out of combat. Alas, McGovern's campaign was spoiled before it got out of the gate with Jack Anderson's fabrications about Thomas Eagleton -- McGovern's running mate -- supposedly having undergone shock therapy because of mental illness. Poor George literally had to comb the weeds for a replacement, finally managing to get Sargent Shriver to fill the slot. By that time, sadly, the race for the presidency was over. Still, Nixon and his criminal conspirators, practically guaranteed a landslide victory, still committed a crime by attempting to bug the McGovern's campaign HQ -- to gather enough information, they hoped, to crush the Democrats and ice the election.

Nixon was a brilliant man but a sadly flawed, criminal politician.

Your phrase "This son of a bitch rat bastard has got to GO" absolutely deserves to be on a t-shirt beneath a picture or cartoon of the rat bastard, himself. It is nicely restrained and focused. I'd buy the t-shirt, definitely.

(Grammar Nazi quibble: "a 16 year old woman WHO is both . . . . " and "voting for WHOEVER is our nominee" because the verb "is" takes the nominative case -- even though both appear to be involved with objects of prepositions.)
