An old-school takedown

Ya think today's politicians are rough on each other? Here's how they did it during the Mad Men era: "[Richard] Nixon is a shifty-eyed goddamn liar, and people know it. He's 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. And if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he'd lie just to keep his hand in." (Cue Jon Stewart saying, "Oh SNAP!") Quote courtesy of former President Harry S. Truman, 1961.
