Gap in tape; missing email

Quite a coincidence! Nixon’s tape with missing recording and missing emails from Bush administration seems to have a lot in common. There was Watergate scandal, Vietnam War, VP Spiro Agnew’s resignation and eventual impeachment proceedings of Nixon. That was then. Thirty plus years later we have “Plame” scandal, CIA leak, fall guy Scooter Libby, Iraq War and now fired judges. The difference is that there is no Vietnam style mass protest. Perhaps we are too complacent now, perhaps we are too polarized to come together even for the right reason. Bush and his cronies (Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rove) can get away with anything. If it were Bill Clinton, they would be after his blood. Yes, they think “Right” is right and “Left” is wrong, conservatism is a virtue and liberalism is a crime. They don’t see the gray. It’s black or white; it’s red or blue
