Poof. After the Tea Pot Dome Scandal we had Coolidge, Hoover, and the continued breaking of unions.

After the Watergate scandal we had Carter with the beginning of deregulation, the sponsoring of mass murder in East Timor, his virtual signing of the death warrant for Archbishop Romero and the consequent slaughters in Guatemala, El Salvador, and Hondura. And that was only for starters. Then we had the triggering of chaos in Afghanistan and admission of the murderous Shah to the u.s. with the subsequent hostage crisis.

Who cares whether one criminal (Rove) gets caught or doesn't get caught for his role in exposing another criminal (Plame). (C.I.A. officers are criminals by definition.)

Government scandals are about as politically relevant and less interesting as the stuff Doug forwards from Page Six.
