When Republicans Say Stupid Things
Here’s Alaska Rep. Don Young defending the just-indicted Alaska Senator Ted Stevens and suggesting that he be re-elected to the Senate:
“I think he can win. He’s the best thing for that, for the Senate. Alaskans know this.
“[...]I think that’s going to be, you know, a matter of opinion. I can remember Richard Nixon, you know, his years of service, what he’s done, and everybody were ridiculing him and he ended up being the greatest president in the history of our century.
Richard Nixon?
Rep. Young does remember that Richard Nixon resigned in disgrace and scandal, right? Or does his memory of history stop in about 1972?
