One of the things that we missed recently was the anniversary of the resignation of President Richard Nixon which occurred 35 years ago yesterday... In looking for footage of the resignation, one of the things that I ran across was the short piece embedded below which actually shows outtake footage of Mr Nixon preparing for the speech, and in a lot of ways is an interesting insight into the man as he prepares for what one would think must have been one of the most traumatic moments of his life...
And below is fotage of the actual speech...
Hmmm... one thing I can't help but wonder is how Mr. Nixon's claim not to be a quitter as he is resigning can come across as so much more thoughtful and honest than Sarah Palin's similar claim during her resignation... maybe it has something to do with the fact that he was able to do it without resorting to refernces to chachacos and sourdoughs or pining for the fjords or whatever the hell she was talking about...
