You hit the nail on the head. The press wants a Nixon moment.

The 'rat/media playbook for the last several years has been to "Nixonize" the Bush presidency. They managed to destroy Tricky Dick after he won a mandate regarding Vietnam by crushing McGovern. They dream to themselves: "We won politically by sabotoging one war. Why can't we do it again!"

The problem is that for all the hysterical whinning, hand ringing, and lying the Bush Whitehouse is probably the most scandal-free of any in memory. For all his other failing Bush is so squeaky clean that the have to resort to making up scandals: Plamegate, the NSA nonsense, etc.

The 'rats can't stand it the Clinton was a criminal and weirdo and Bush is not. Its literally driving them insane.
