Was Richard Nixon a 'Dick'? Did his friends and family say, 'hey, Dick, blah blah...' Suffering from ads?

I'm trying to remember but I can't. Also, is 'Dick' Cheney a Richard or is his name actually Dick?

His wife was always called Pat so I think it's a rather safe bet he himself was referred to as Dick within the family.

Its bad to have the name Dick, but when you combine it with a bad surname it is 10x worse. I am taking an evening class with someone named 'Dick Smoker'. He looks as if he has taken a few beatings in his life...

Also, what about Richard Gephart? Occasionally I hear him refered to as Dick Gephart, but mostly he's known as Richard Gephart.

BTW, how come noone ever makes fun of Pres. Johnson.

The only joke I know involving his name doesn't even make use of his otherwise rather um.. inviting surname.

Following a visit of his to Berlin in the 60's there was talk of renaming the famous alley Unter den Lyndon.

Notice I didn't say it was a funny one

For a good comedy, rent "Dick" where Kursten Dunst gets a job in the Nixon White House as the dog walker.
