See, JFK was much better looking than Nixon, and lets face it- America needed a hottie president to usher in the era of Free Love. ( Clinton was just a couple of decades late). So, no matter how much you try to spin Nixon's legacy, the fact remains that JFK was Prince Charming to Nixon's Gollum. I'll bet he hated JFK.
