Tricky Dick, the man who destroyed the presidency. And it's never been the same since. I'm grateful for the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, he is trying to restore a sense of decency to the office. For your amusement:

Washington overcharged the US government by 10 times over his presidential salary for "expenses."

Don't forget US Grant's cronies.

And Warren Harding and his cronies.

so I enlisted (Cheny, Romney you gutless bastards). At least I tried to serve my country, you two wanted to be served by your country.

My best friend and I got into trouble because as reader board tenders in High School, we once posted: Tricky Dicky's gone to China...Rotsa Ruck!...
