emptywheel on Twitter: "Trying to gauge the seriousness of this: Anyone remember whether Roger Stone melted down this badly when Nixon was impeached?"

@emptywheel

Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

  I mean, if nothing else, Twitter has given us the public rat-fucker meltdown.

  Well, we didn't have twitter to see it happen in real time in '74 but IIRC, even the most die-hard Nixonites had given him up by 8/8/74

  Hard to believe, but he was born in 1952! So he was only about 22 when Nixon resigned. I thought he was way older.

  I don't remember about Roger Stone but Ben Stein sure did. Stein *still* defends Nixon.

  He may well have, but fortunately for us back then, nobody gave a fuck about him.

  He was but a shadow of the man he is now, this is like reliving his nightmare I'm sure. I'll bet this is worse.
