GOProud: Richard Nixon's Darkest Secrets, Did Tricky Did Enjoy Dick?

If you a regular reader of this blog, you know I am no fan of Richard Nixon. Nixon abused the powers of his office far beyond that exposed in Watergate. Nixon had his list of political enemies and perhaps the truth why he would need such a list may be coming out.

It appears Richard Nixon may be our first gay president according to a new book. Nixon's Darkest Secrets claims Nixon kept this secret in the closet.

A veteran White House reporter reveals our 37th president was even more sinister and haunted than we knew.

Richard Nixon left the White House in 1974 as our most disgraced president, but the American people never knew the full extent of his demons, deceptions, paranoia, prejudices, hatreds, and chicanery.

Calling on his work in covering Nixon, scores of interviews with members of Congress, White House staffers, and others close to our nation’s thirty-seventh president, and invaluable, newly declassified documents and recordings, veteran journalist Don Fulsom sheds new light on “Tricky Dick.” The author’s revelations include:

That the future president sabotaged the 1968 peace talks for political gain

By the time Nixon became president in 1969, he had linked to the mob for more than two decades and, as president, had a close connection with New Orleans boss Carlos Marcello, the most powerful Mafioso in the nation

The president had a drinking problem and top aides referred to him as "Our Drunk"
Nixon had a misogynist streak and was abusive toward first lady Pat Nixon

The intimate and possibly homosexual nature of Nixon's relationship with confidante Charles "Bebe" Rebozo, a banker with mob ties

Testimony alleging that the president had ordered the killing of White House reporter Jack Anderson

So perhaps the enemies list was made to keep his secret in the closet.
