Why not? That's what they said thirty years ago.

Yep...and then Nixon was impeached and a bunch of his co-conspirators prosecuted.

Wonder when that will happen again? I mean for something other than lying about blow jobs.

When something comparable happens, most likely. As opposed to the currently stylish faux nostalgia of the hippie-wannabee GenX-spawn.

Apparently it's not just the generals who are always perfectly prepared to fight the last war... :-)

If only there was a smoking gun and a Deep Throat for the whole WMD scam. Where are Woodward and Bernstein when you need 'em?

That is hands down the best protest sign I have ever seen.

Perhaps you never saw "Nodody can lick our Dick" during the Nixon administration, or "Lesbians {For/Against} Bush" more recently.

Yeah, the best since "Dick Nixon before Nixon Dicks you"

There's an entire generation of journalists that want to be Woodward and Bernstein when they grow up.

So, as soon as that happens...:-)

These Florida cops are not atypical. Below the state police level I expect it, having seen it since my early teens, in many states.
If one of the local cops get a hardon for you, the whole force will make you're life unpleasant.

The only difference now is, people farther up the socio-economic scale are getting a taste of it.

the Supreme court says there is higher standards, more training, more professionalism. That's true, but the effect is they are more like marines and less like police.....shoot first and questions later. Collateral damage should not be in your local police lexicon.

Or, make your life very pleasant, indeed!
