Transcript:
Boy: You mean another rejection came through, Ms. Caucus? Girl: Sssh! Joanie: Yup! A big, fat no!... They let Donald Segretti into law school! They let John Ehrlichman into law school! They let John Dean in! But will they accept Joan Caucus?! Nope! No way! Boy: Must be rough when all your friends get in like that... Girl: Sssh! Joanie: hee, hee!

Jeb Magruder, another one of Tricky Dick’s plumbers, died yesterday. Big obit in today’s NYTimes if you want to be reminded what Watergate was all about.

I love these old strips, when Trudeau was political and funny. Watergate was his finest hour.

Well, they didn’t have PreCrime back then to keep Ehrlichman et al out of law school.

We liberals are just as deluded, in our own way. Sigh.

Yeah, his death did sort of take the focus off of his state department that ran like “Murder Incorporated”, his invention of the fabled “missile gap”, his bringing the US and USSR as close to nuclear war as they would ever come, and his appointment of his brother (former HUAC attack dog) as attorney general. I am a life-long Democrat, but I still think Nixon would have been the better choice in 1960.

Right — if Faux had been around then, Nixon would never have had to resign.

They’re using Bengazi to keep it alive and try to force Hillary to testify in case she decides to run for prez. If she doesn’t run, they’ll drop it and be on to the next scandal.
