Respecting the idea behind that wonderful thought, I still think the effects and consequences of Bush policies will take two generations to overcome. We'll be kicking him around for a while. Hopefully not as long as the other guy.

Nixon was around for a long, long time after that.

"In 1962, local and national Republican leaders encouraged Nixon to challenge the incumbent Pat Brown for Governor of California.[24] Despite initial reluctance, Nixon entered the race.[24] The campaign was clouded by public suspicion that Nixon viewed the governorship as a political "stepping-stone" to a higher office, some opposition from the far-right of the party, and his own lack of interest in being California's governor.[24] He lost to Brown by nearly 300,000 votes.[24] This loss was widely believed to be the end of his career;[24] in an impromptu concession speech the morning after the election, Nixon famously blamed the media for favoring his opponent, saying, "You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference."[24]
