    Perhaps we can look forward to hearing Bertie Ahern's racial views in 2044 and Cowen's in 2047.

    (1)At first I thought this was going to be another one of those wikileaks reports or something:D

    (2)Richard Nixon clearly never met an Irishman, maybe he was mistaken us for Scotsmen or something. I gladly take up his challenge to a drinking contest if he were still alive

    (3)Maybe the reason all the Irish guys he met were mean, was because it was him and they didn't like him. He was a Republican afterall

    Richard Nixon was actually one of the better Republican presidents. Intellectual, very strong IQ. Came across as a more sane Republican until the party was hijacked by neocons when Reagan took them over.

    I think he had fairly good approval ratings prior to watergate (at least compared to Obama). Definitely underrated.
