You're Killing Me

Foley.

1. If this is all a big joke, why did he resign? People don't shitcan bright political careers over jokes they don't know anything about.

2. If he had known the party was going to get this stiff in his defense, would he have resigned in the first place?

3. If you go to Blockbuster and rent all the political scandal-genre movies from decades past, everything from "The Candidate" to "Three Days of the Condor," could you find anything in them that isn't just quaint and completely trivial compared to what has happened in this country in the past 6 years? College sexual indiscretions? Secret international spy rings? Somebody authorized a small military action in Central America? So fucking what? (Tom Clancy, you are on notice: your thrillers about high officials violating esoteric laws are obsolete--we've moved on to global-scale crimes against humanity, sucker!)

I mean, Watergate was a fucking joke. Maybe the GOP can dig up Nixon and get a public apology from Woodward and Bernstein for thinking that anyone gave a shit about the Constitution.
