Aren't you glad Nixon isn't Slovenian?
An anti-Nixon button stating the obvious. (source)

Luka sent me this really odd picture of a button. It belongs to a larger collection of Watergate-era, anti-Nixon buttons that can be seen in toto here.

I don’t quite get it; Luka’s guess is that it was meant for the local Slovenian community, who were presumably relieved that an abomination like Nixon had Welsh ancestors and not Slovenian ones. But what an odd thing to put on a button.

And apparently it doesn’t even come from Slovene-heavy Cleveland, but from Chicago. And apparently someone liked it enough to buy it already.

Hmm, I wonder if there’s a market for some “Warren G. Harding wasn’t Slovenian!” buttons. Cause it’s true. He wasn’t.

(Thanks Luka!)
