Everything old is new again

I had an interesting thought yesterday-- the mid 2000s seems a lot like the early '70s. "Gonzogate" has many similarities to Watergate; it now has it's own "Wednesday Night Massacre." Also, the war in Iraq is as bad as, if not worse than Vietnam. About the only significant difference is that Nixon, as awful and paranoid as he was, at least appeared to have some intelligence. Bush is about witless, with the nice-for-him consequence that he's not paranoid at all. Everything is great, just ask him!
