I know, I know, but I can't stand letting this quote go unposted.

When asked about President Nixon....

"Yes, the President should resign. He has lied to the American people, time
and time again, and betrayed their trust.
Since he has admitted guilt, there is no reason to put the American people
through an impeachment. He will serve no purpose in finishing out his term,
the only possible solution is for the President to save some dignity and
resign."

William Jefferson Clinton, candidate for the 3rd Congressional District,
Arkansas 1974.

That's all. Back to trading.
