Are you watching Hardball and the way they are trying to spin this ...

They showed a clip of David Greggory ripping into Scott McClelland for "misleading" the press

Geez .. almost sounds like they are yet again trying to make another Watergate

Good for Deborah Orin for stating the facts about Joe Wilson

E.J. Dionne jumped on her for mentioning it also

I didn't see Hardball, so thanks for filling me in. I think the Dems have been trying to concoct a pretext for another Watergate for a while now, with Halliburton being another example of how far they'll reach to contrive an appearance of scandal. Watergate was the "glory days" for Kennedy, Clinton, and Kerry and their left-wing media supporters like Hersh and Pincus, but they don't have Dick Nixon to kick around any more, so they're trying their best to turn Bush into a new Nixon, and if that doesn't work they'll settle for Cheney or Rove as a new Agnew/Kissinger. And they'd love to use some trumped-up prisoner abuse scandal to stick Rumsfeld with a "My Lai II". I seriously think the Democratic left is fixated--in a clinical sense--on hating Nixon, and they're perpetually stuck in the mental timewarp of a neverending rerun called "That 70s War".
