Obama vs Nixon
My faithful reader Kathie will like this: Tom Tomorrow also said:
Bottom line for me: Obama has trampled on civil liberties and is conducting low-level secret wars of his own, and deserves condemnation for this -- but lacks the sheer evil genius and mendacity to be considered anywhere near in Nixon's league. I mean, seriously -- the IRS sent his political adversaries annoying questionnaires, and then approved their tax exempt status. Nixon would be rolling in his grave with laughter.

Part of me secretly hopes that Sen. Inhofe and his ilk WILL keep frothing at the mouth about the "I" word, because it demonstrates their lack of a sense of proportion WRT moral equivalencies. (Cue: "At long last, have you left no sense of decency?")
I wonder if this will lead to an article of impeachment as well:

BTW, did you catch McNeil/Lehrer on the PBS News Hour tonight, recalling the 40th anniversary their starting to broadcast the Watergate hearings? Oh, and Jim was such a cutie-pie four decades ago (hey, no one ever accused me of being "deep"!).
Here's the link to the transcrip, as well as the online video. "Covering Watergate: 40 Years Later With MacNeil And Lehrer":
