“I think the trouble is that we’ve got too many nice guys around who just want to do the right thing,” said an exasperated Richard Nixon on August 3, 1972. Sitting in the Oval Office with his two closest advisers, Chief of Staff H. R. Haldeman and Assistant for Domestic Affairs John Ehrlichman, the president vented about his cabinet’s lack of toughness. He was especially enraged over the unwillingness of certain administration officials to bend the rules to go after his political enemies. Earlier in the conversation, Nixon exclaimed, “We have all of this power and we’re not using it!” He asked, “Who is doing this full time? Who is running the IRS? Who is running over to the Justice Department? . . . With all of the agencies of government, what in the name of god are we doing about the McGovern contributors?” Haldeman responded, “The short answer to your question is nothing.” Nixon retorted, “Part of the problem is the bureaucracy, part of the problem is our own goddamned fault. There must be something we can do.” Although he griped about several different individuals in his administration during the discussion, the president specifically blamed his recently appointed secretary of the treasury George P. Shultz. During that summer, Shultz and the then commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Johnnie Walters had resisted the White House’s efforts to use the agency to harass and punish their opponents. “He’s not being political enough,” said Nixon. “I don’t care how nice of a guy he is. I don’t care how good of an economist he is. We can’t have this bullshit!”
1972年8月3日,恼怒的理查德·尼克松说:“我认为问题在于我们周围有太多只想做正确事情的好人。”总统和两名最亲密的顾问——办公厅主任h·r·霍尔德曼(H. R. Haldeman)和国内事务助理约翰·埃利希曼(John Ehrlichman)——坐在椭圆形办公室里,抱怨内阁缺乏强硬。令他尤其愤怒的是,某些政府官员不愿违反规定来对付他的政敌。在谈话的早些时候,尼克松惊呼道:“我们拥有所有这些权力,但我们没有使用它!”他问:“谁在全职做这件事?谁在管理国税局?谁跑到司法部去了?……所有的政府机构,以上帝的名义,我们对麦戈文的捐助者做了什么?”霍尔德曼回答说:“对你的问题,简短的回答是什么都没有。”尼克松反驳说:“部分问题在于官僚主义,部分问题在于我们自己该死的错。我们一定能做点什么。”尽管他在讨论中抱怨了政府中的几个人,但总统特别指责了他最近任命的财政部长乔治·p·舒尔茨(George P. Shultz)。在那个夏天,舒尔茨和当时的国税局局长约翰尼·沃尔特斯(Johnnie Walters)抵制了白宫试图利用国税局骚扰和惩罚他们的对手的努力。“他不够政治化,”尼克松说。“我不在乎他是个多好的人。我不管他是一个多好的经济学家。我们不能再这样了!”
