There is more material to work with these days, yet the level of political comedy falls short of the Watergate days.

His leaked emails do remind me of the Watergate days when Mark Russell would get laughs by just pulling the paper out of the AP Teleprinter and reading the news out loud. (I think he called it 'rip and read').
