The President/Mr. Kissinger
8:50 p.m., November 2, 1972
K:
(laughter) And that's on the wires.
P:
Losing his cool. Like he told that woman, you know, he said "you're a
horse's ass" you know, when she wouldn't shake hands with him or
something.
K:
He's an awful man.
P:
My God, I've been through much worse. (laughter) You just don't react
that way.
K:
Yeah.
P:
You don't react that way. He said, "kiss my ass" huh?
K:
Yeah, he's an awful man.
P:
Well, fine. Well, it's coming along and whatever happens in the next
three or four days cannot affect the results
K:
Nothing decisive is going to happen now.
P:
We're going to hammer right along.
K:
They would be insane to break anything off now.
P:
If they do, well
K:
It's almost inconceivable.
P:
Well, if they do, we're ready and we're in a position to just put it on
McGovern. Say he wants surrender.
K:
Yeah.
P:
And we're going to play it rough, if he does too.
K:
It's not going to happen.
P:
He may -- somebody was saying -- come out Sunday and say well, it's
all shot and we've mislead the people and all that. But if he does,
we'll just -- Are you going to do your thing tomorrow or not?
Have you decided?
