In 1969 J. Edgar Hoover invited him over for dinner and they ate steak, waited on by FBI agents, in a room lit by lava lamps and decorated with pin-up girl posters.

He also used to get drunk and talk to the portraits in the White House.

Did Nixon recognize a sort of kindred spirit in Hoover, or did he suspect him of being a secret pinko Jew?

I think more of the former, but they weren't at all friendly. Nixon knew that, as far as the FBI was concerned, Hoover was the President and could turn the agency against the White House whenever he wanted.

That's why when Hoover finally died Nixon decided to install his own man at the FBI instead of promoting the next-in-line, Mark Felt. That didn't work out too well for Nixon in the end....

Oh, and the Plumbers were set up in the White House in the first place because Hoover refused to use the FBI for it.

Gee, thanks for making me feel old. I remember watching this episode when it first aired.

Moreover, I was old enough in 1992 to have an opinion about the elections, namely that Perot was right about cutting aid to Israel because it was time for it to be more independent. :negative:

Dude's been doing it since 2010 too, which is sort of impressive, though less so considering he never changes his mind about anything.
