but Reagan was in office for eight years. I think Nixon was capable of far more damage than he's gotten credit for. He just didn't have enough time to do his worst!

I find it funny that when republicans want to blame Democrats for some "scandal", they compare it to something that a republican president did. You don't hear a lot of "worse than" about FDR, JFK, or Bill Clinton's presidency.
