Compare this FUBAR shitstorm to Watergate from our - the public's - point of view. Amazing contrast.

It was all about reading newspapers and watching the nightly news. Things unfolded in 12 or 24 hour blocks. Watergate was more than two years of newspaper articles and news reports and televised hearings from the break to the punchline.

Just today - the last three days - between twitter, TPM, the big media, 24 hour news cycle - we must all have whiplash. News seems to be breaking hourly - by the minute....the deranged creamsickle and cast of criminals/tiny minds is only 6 months into this and we seem to be heading for the big stuff - realizing that there will surely be more, there will be time needed (probably lots) for Mueller's team.

One other big difference - Watergate era's republicans seem to be country first. Not this crop.

1. Except this time, the Faux News watching half of the country

knows nothing about it all.

2. Watergate's GOPers were almost as craven as this bunch.

The draft articles of impeachment were voted mostly along party lines. Some on the judiciary committee voted for them but most did not.

3. good point. It seems we all know so much more, more quickly (or do we???)
