Not unless aliens and/or Jesus shows up and says, "Stop sucking! Stop fucking things up!"

Very blasphemous comment whitefonted b/c I know it's a big line-crosser for some: If Jesus returned and Dubya raped HIM, the media would be all "See?!? He LOVES Jesus!"

IMHO, they have already done several things which individually should have been bigger scandals than Watergate....

tommyrot (and Jessica and Steph and....) all beat me to it, but yeah, I've been wondering if in this day and age, given the huge media aparatus that's either owned by corporate interests, or flat out a wing of the GOP (Faux News, anyone?), if Watergate could have broke the way it did back in the day.

I'm sure Nixon vs. Bush in the "likeability" department would be a mitigating factor as well. Nixon had a lot of personal negatives that people on a number of different sides were looking to attack/exploit. Policy-wise, at least domestically speaking, I'd take Nixon right now over Bush (any Bush, but especially the current mouth of Sauron) in a heartbeat.

Granted, you could argue that Nixon's domestic policy would be a lot less liberal if he'd had the current cultural climate.

eta, ooooh, onesies!

Steph, it might be line-crossing, but I think it sums up just exactly how rightwing the media. Because I think that's exactly what they'd say.

Honestly, the people who post here are my friends, and I don't want to offend them when it comes to something as deeply personal as faith (unless you're trying to revive the Heaven's Gate cult, in which case you are CRAZY), so that's why I white-fonted.

I don't need to offend my friends just to make a cheap joke.

And yet, you betcha I think that's how the media would respond to such a scenario.

Heh. Steph made me laugh outloud....

The only question would be, which Bush gets which end of the horny donkey?

See, that's why I don't want the visuals. 'Cause either way, ewwwwwww.

Between Tep and Tommyrot, I now suddenly want to reread The Sparrow...

I'm wondering if it's likely that there will ever be huge, sixties/early seventies style demonstrations in the near future. And, if so, if we'll hear about them.

No one understands us. Er, them! Them.

As a MA resident, I can only inform you that Ted Kennedy does NOT fall under the "prettier" category.

Point. Though at least he doesn't have a god-awful pinched, mean look for his default expression, nor a smirk for a smile.
