Ike vs Yikes!

[H2O Man]

14. Yep!

For all of Nixon's failures as a human being -- ethical, moral, and character flaws that should have disqualified him from ever being elected to Congress, much less the White House -- he was superior both intellectually and ethically than 90+ % of the republicans in Washington today. He did have actual talents, which alone separates him from the current crop.

(I haven't fallen as much in the past 7 or 8 months, as I have over the past 13 years. I had my back crushed in an auto wreck -- not my fault -- and had surgeries and a couple of years of physical therapy, to get me back on my feet. I've noticed that the older I get, the more it hurts. And it can be a real drag, laying on the cold ground, hoping one of my kids either returns home or stops for a visit. On the plus side, one of my dogs kept me warm while I was laying there!)
