#1 Really good points. I was too young to understand Watergate other than that President Nixon was A Bad Man Whom We Hate. So I particularly appreciate being pointed to this kind of useful perspective.

#2 Woodward and Bernstein became gullible, easily manipulated stooges. The rest of the Washington elite come off little better, and one of the foundational myths of post-70s “left-liberalism” disappears in a puff of smoke.

Some things never change.

Watergate looks amateurish and on a very small scale in comparison to the vastness of what had been going on in past few administrations. The thing about Watergate was that it was brazen, criminal and immoral but small potatoes. The more I dig into the swamp the deeper and deeper it seems to be. The shutdown of the government seems to be a good thing. Maybe it should be on a permanent basis.
