From what I have seen recently, you can blame your predecessor for pretty much anything and those that want to believe it will believe it. It doesn't take much to get your cheering supporters to suspend reality if they are already convinced you are infallible.

That's true, in some cases.

But LBJ did not start Watergate, while Bush did start the wars in Iraq and in Afghanistan, with no clearly specified goals and with no exit strategies.

Don't forget the stamps of approval from Congress. There's plenty of blame to go around

Has there ever been a stronger or more wide spread example of investigative journalism?

Inky_Wretch · Aug 9, 2010

FWIW, today is also the day the Manson family killed Sharon Tate and four others in 1969.

The supreme irony of Watergate was that it was completely unnecessary. Nixon could have spent the whole campaign in '72 sitting back in the Rose Garden drinking martinis and smoking cigars, and been re-elected in a landslide.

On this day in 48 BC, Julius Caesar defeated Pompey at Pharsalus and Pompey fled to Egypt. Obviously many of those posting here weren't born, or fail to see the significance of both the date and the event, including a guy who calls himself a moderator but is an instigator. Now clear aside while I prepare tomorrow's post, in which I will inform you that on 10/10/77, the Son of Sam was arrested. I plan to call the thread, "It's a 44 Caliber Day!"

I look forward to reading your thread.
You amaze me Ragu. People died because of that idiot but you make a joke of it. You are clearly a special person.

Will you be weighing in to inform us about how wet behind the ears Jimmy Breslin was, back when he was learning his craft at your knee?

In today's media environment - I think Nixon could have survived.

Sure he would. He'd have an entire TV network running interference for him 24/7 and filling the air with shrieking doom and gloom about the dire consequences of any actions against him.

Just like CNN in 1997, right?

I'll be weighing in on how a moderator can make a joke out of a murderer. Please keep up the good work Ragu. You are the envy of many.

Those are some harsh words for Caesar.

Thanks for the informative post!

Did you by chance know Carl Bernstein, back in his days at a weekly somewhere, when he had a lot to learn?

LOL.

Drip, if you weren't such a know-it-all/name dropper, you wouldn't take so much shit.

But you are, so you do.

Either roll with it, or stop being such a blowhard.
