Nov. 17 marks the thirty-fifth anniversary of President Richard Nixon's his famous "I am not a crook" line at the height of the Watergate scandal. Flip through TIME's collection of other devastating political quotes. You'll shake your jowls with bemusement.
"It's vile. It's more sad than anything else, to see someone with such potential throw it all down the drain because of a sexual addiction."

It's like rain on your wedding day.
