Even Napoleon had his Watergate.

I believe that President Nixon was right in what he did at Watergate. Lack of respect for authority and things like socialism are turning this into a weak, effeminate country.

The institution of the presidency was profoundly affected by Watergate.

Watergate is an immensely complicated scandal with a cast of characters as varied as a Tolstoy novel.

Watergate had become the center of the media's universe, and during the remaining year of my presidency the media tried to force everything else to revolve around it.

I remember being a kid and the Vietnam War was huge and looking at Watergate.

The French had an obvious financial interest in Iraq. That's been documented. They were involved financially in Iraq and in some cases, I think with weapons of mass destruction.

Watergate was unique because it allowed the public to play its democratic role in expressing its outrage at the presidency. And as a result, for the first time in history a president resigned.

I suspect there have been a number of conspiracies that never were described or leaked out. But I suspect none of the magnitude and sweep of Watergate.

Watergate was a constitutional crisis of the highest order.
