I've accomplished more in the last two years than you likely will in
your entire, pathetic life.

I'll likely do the same this year.

The stuff I work on is so cool I can't even tell you about it.

Whereas your drab life is just... well... drab.

The villification had a lot of justification behind it. The current story
is that Ford did it so that the issue would be over and the country could
get back to dealing with more serious issues. A lot of people thought at
the time and many still believe that this was the wrong thing to do.

If the trial had happened etc, people would have "seen justice done".
People are a lot more willing to forgive someone who gets found guilty
than someone who they see as having gotten special treatment.

Nixon should have gone to jail over the 55MPH speed law and gotten 40
lashes for the "Nixonomics".
