As a recent Michigan grad I found it hilarious, yet appropriate, when Bob Woodruff said at my graduation, to paraphrase: "I'm getting this degree because I got blown up in Iraq." And for the most part, he is right.

And because he helped to take down Nixon, one of the left's favorite bogeymen.

John D., According to Wikipedia, Bob Woodruff was born in 1961, which would barely make him a teenager when Nixon was "taken down"—very precocious indeed! Perhaps you are thinking of Bob Woodward.
