Humorous Quotes about
Richard Nixon

I don't wish to deprecate the Vice President's (Nixon's) new personality. But I do wish that we might hear some word from him repudiating the irresponsible, vindictive, and malicious words so often spoken by the imposter who has been using his name all these years. ~ Adlai Stevenson

Nixon is the kind of politician who would cut down a redwood tree, then mount the stump for a speech on conservation. ~ Adlai Stevenson

No lie is intelligent, but his (Richard Nixon's) were colossal stupidity because they involved the presidency of the United States. ~ Barry Goldwater (Goldwater)

Speaking of threats to civilization: 1950 was the year Richard Nixon was elected to Congress. ~ Dave Barry (Dave Barry Turns Fifty)

I especially despised him (Richard Nixon) in 1968, when he got himself elected president by claiming that he had a Secret Plan to get us out of Vietnam, and it turned out that this plan was so secret that even Nixon didn't know what it was. ~ Dave Barry (Dave Barry Turns Fifty)

I believe that Nixon provided some of the greatest pure entertainment this nation has ever seen. When he was president, if you could disregard the fact that he was (a) the most powerful man in the world and (b) clinically insane, you could really enjoy watching him look into the TV camera, trying SO hard to appear to be a sincere, humanoid life-form. ~ Dave Barry (Dave Barry Turns Fifty)

Friend, Countrymen, ...
For the past 25 years, the presidency had been a remarkable parade of hanky-panky, comical incompetence, and outright weirdness, and the country has done OK. In fact, once you got into the spirit of it, it was kind of fun. I don’t know about you, but I loved it when Jimmy Carter reported that he’d been attacked by a giant swimming rabbit. I loved it when Richard Nixon made speeches wherein he looked as though a large and disorganized committee of alien beings had taken over his body and were just learning how to operate it: (“Ok, Let’s try to wave. Who’s operating the arms?” “Me!” “No, me!” “NO . . . ,” etc.).
Dave Barry (Dave Barry's Greatest Hits)

Riding the wave of space mania, President Kennedy declared that, before the end of the decade, America would land a man on the Moon (he never said so, but I suspect that the specific man he had in mind was Richard Nixon.) ~ Dave Barry (Dave Barry Turns Fifty)

Kennedy’s major political drawback was that the nation had never elected a Roman Catholic; on the other hand, the nation had never elected a total dweeb, either, and the Republicans had for some reason nominated “Dick” Nixon. So it was a close race. ~ Dave Barry (Dave Barry Slept Here)

Our foreign policy is supposed to be a secret. This principle was perfected by Richard Nixon, who used to keep the foreign policy hidden in a little jar buried in the White House lawn. Nobody ever had the vaguest notion what he was going to do next. ~ Dave Barry (Dave Barry's Bad Habits)

It is possible for a Humor Impaired person, through courage and determination, to overcome his handicap, and maybe even someday, like Mr. Nixon, attain the ultimate political achievement of not getting indicted. ~ Dave Barry (Dave Barry Talks Back)

Nixon is one of the few in the history of this country to run for high office talking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time and lying out of both sides. ~ Harry Truman

Mr. Nixon, like the rest of us, has had his problems in this campaign. At one point even the Wall Street Journal was criticizing his tactics. That is like the Osservatore Romano criticizing the Pope. ~ John F Kennedy
