Are you telling yourself the it would have remained a family affair?
You level of denial is rarely seen in public.

"Clinton - 'Monicagate" = nothing illegal and should have concerned no one but his family"
Umm, they didn't impeach Clinton because he got his schlong taken care of. They impeached because he committed perjury and obstruction of justice. If he would've told the truth from the getgo (you guys are big on that thing for GOP presidents), he wouldn't have gotten into the mess he had created for himself, and it would've remained a family affair.

so far fetched I can't believe it. is this another comedy book from ann coulter?
Nixon - Watergate = criminal behavior, criminal cover-up
Clinton - 'Monicagate" = nothing illegal and should have concerned no one but his family

yes ted kennedy's plan was to remove nixon and then run for president 5 years later in a democratic primary against the incumbent president.
Sounds like a winning strategy. Shepard and Pat Buchanan are like the rest of the Nixonites, they want to make money and unfort. Shephard will probably make some money off this book from the far-right. these guys should all be in prison, as should have nixon.
