Since when was Nixon impeached?
I wonder if there is a rash of dementia going around Congress.

Lie under oath (perjury), get your underlings to publish privacy act information on whistle blowers (abuse of power), and withhold evidence like the Rose Law firm files for years (obstruction of justice). Yup, Henry, none of these are high crimes and/or misdemeanors. Just your typical day at the Oval Office.
I used to think the Republicans were the stupid party. Now I think they're all a bunch of weak sisters.

Except that Nixon wasn't impeached. He was just persecuted by the 'Rats.

Naw, we took down Dan Rather in revenge for the media's treatment of Nixon (they spared LBJ for many of the same offenses).

I didn't think Nixon was impeached, I think he quit---
but, lets don't let facts get in the way of a good STORY.
THIS is just great, why can't politicians keep their mouths shut---
This is really gonna help matters--NOW all we will hear from the dems is what a great man Henry Hyde is, especially since he was COURAGEOUS enough to admit that Clinton didn't do anything WRONG, he was just the poor scapegoat for the Nixon scandal.....
I think I am gonna puke....

Makes little sense, because what led to Nixon resigning was that even the Republicans thought he should go. So saying there was even the need for revenge is silly.

"Since when was Nixon impeached? I wonder if there is a rash of dementia going around Congress."
Not surprisingly, neither the reporter, the editor, nor the fact checkers cared to correct this rewrite of history either.

Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING Where is the headline in the body of the article ?
They extrapolated "can't say it wasn't" into a positive declaration of fact. Typical media BS.
The veteran DuPage County congressman acknowledged that Republicans went after Clinton in part to enact revenge against the Democrats for impeaching President Richard Nixon 25 years earlier. Andy Shaw asked Hyde if the Clinton proceedings were payback for Nixon's impeachment.
"I can't say it wasn't, but I also thought that the Republican party should stand for something, and if we walked away from this, no matter how difficult, we could be accused of shirking our duty, our responsibility," said Hyde.
