Everything old is new again. I very literally wake up and think that I am living through the 1970's again. Yeah I am older and not nearly as good looking but the country as a whole is eerily similar.
We have soaring gas prices, an unpopular war, and a corrupt administration. So with my lava lamp retrieved from storage and plugged in on my desk I think that it is time to put the Bushies through the same scrutiny that the American press gleefully put Nixon through during Watergate. My firm belief is that when all is said and done, the malfeasance perpetrated by this group will make Nixon look like a poser and George Bush will go down in history as the worst example of a world leader since the beginning of time.
The constant manipulation of the media alone is worth a special category for sleaziness. Nixon tried to make the aggressive reporters go away but due to his unfortunate personality he just emboldend them to pursue him even harder. Bush and, his brain, Karl Rove have done an amazing job at intimidating the press and redirecting negative press coverage. They have also clearly used terrorism as a handy red herring to throw out to the press whenever it gets too hot for them. These are bad guys of the first order. They are blazing new trails in their underhanded, unethical, amoral, approach to government.
I am saving my pennies now because when these administration hacks start to write tell all books about what really happened, they will all be at the top of my must read list for years to come.
