OK so I was off by one year. Hoover was still dead when Watergate happened.

I hated Watergate at the time and I hate it now. It was so horribly overblown, it makes the Michael Jackson Trial coverage look modest. I can't magine how awful it would have been if cable news existed during Watergate. CNN = Crush Nixon Network.

At least we know that the Watergate rehash will end the minute there is a SCOTUS retirement announced. That will suck every bit of oxygen out of the political air.
