Worst scandal since Watergate? Actually, although individuals have been caught and punished, this is the ONLY scandal since Watergate. As such, the Democrats will be trying to milk it for all it's worth. The problem they have is it's like the House Post Office and bank scandal, they are guilty as well.

Washington -- House Democrats warned President Bush, top leaders of his administration and officials of the National Security Agency on Friday that if the political climate changes they could face criminal prosecution for ordering and carrying out warrantless domestic eavesdropping.

Have you ever noticed how Woodward and Bernstein and in particular Bernstein think that there was never any scandal in History that could top "Watergate"? They constantly embellish on the true story and try to make every other scandal pale in comparison so as to pump up their tired,flat resumes'. They never admit that Nixon was never charged or convicted of anything, and that Hillary Clinton working on the "watergate " committee tried to violate every single legal right that he may have had to defend himself, and she is running for the job she helped take away from Nixon. She thought nothing of defending murderers that were part of "black Power" movement in Connecticut.
