Yeah....he mentioned a few good things about Nixon, because there were some positive aspects of Nixon's history and makeup. On the other hand, he spent a lot of time talking about Nixon's despicable makeup and conduct. I could not stand Nixon, but yes, he did some good things.

Matthews was very clear about his disdain for much of what Nixon was and did. Can't a guy lead an intelligent conversation about Nixon and mention a few good things about him, when that is the truth? Did you expect him to be inaccurate in his appraisal of Nixon because you and I cannot stand him?
