36th anniversary of Watergate
June 17th marks the 36th anniversary of the burglars being arrested at the Watergate hotel , burglarizing the Democratic party headquarters. It took two years and alot of investigation and obstruction, but ultimately, Nixon resigned the Presidency rather than be impeached.
Never one to ever praise Nixon, it gives me a mild pain in my head to say that Nixon, in all areas of his governance, wasn't even close to being as big an evil villain as Jr Bush. It doesn't seem like we will have the pleasure of sitting through a Bush or Cheney impeachment trial, but take comfort, Dame Karma gets her due eventually.
