Ah, yes, but his wife, Martha Mitchell, kept us amused. I used to love how she'd insist on introducing every unofficial speech he gave, and then she'd totally fuck him over by saying something stunningly stupid right before giving him the podium. My favorite:

"People have been given their freedom to a greater extent than ever before, and I think that's quite wrong."

Or who could forget this little gem:

"We can't have people all running around unregulated, you know."
