Karl Rove Scandal and the Big Picture

Abuse of government power for partisan political purposes was at the root of the Watergate scandal.

The collapse of the Nixon White House started with a simple burglary which revealed many other serious crimes.

I suspect the Rove/Novak Traitorgate scandal is just the tip of the iceberg concerning the Bush Administration.

A second rate breakin that didn't amount to much.

LIE. After two years of hunting the Democratic Party still could nor find anything Nixon was guilty of doing.

Wishful think on your part. Rove and Novak have already testified before the Grand Jury. No laws broken. In fact nothing new has occured since July of last year.

That's no fun. I want to go through there with a cocaine dog.

But Blow Job, the rightard criminals engaged in felonies and treason while they tried to hide the fact of their criminal tresspass and wiretapping. Nixon showed America what Republicanism is really all about at its core: crimnality for monetary profits.

Except lots of resignations and convictions...

Pop quiz, Nixon apologist: why did he resign?
