My extraordinary powers of political prophecy

Over at Tom’s place, we were talking about Bush’s supposed “constitutional showdown,” and I commented

All I could think of was, wow, Nixon’s war, Nixon’s Saturday Night Massacre, and now Nixon’s obstructionism. Soon he’ll have a permanent five o’clock shadow.

…and may I just say, this was before the 18-day gap story broke.

As another commenter said, soon he’ll be on Fox News saying “I am not a crook.”

Only he is. Just like Nixon.

    So I’m not the only one who is heavily reminded of the late-60’s early 70’s now.

    Well, Clinton tried to equate himself with JFK. Bush never tried to equate himself to anyone in the past, so now he’s the same as Nixon.

    Wonderful.

  3. Barbs says:

    Bush emulated and compared himself to Reagan

    I agree with John Dean; Bush is way, way worse than Nixon.

    I agree with John Dean

    Who ever thought that was something you’d hear progressives say?

    Yep. We’re way, way down the rabbit hole.
