Water What?
"AS BAD AS WATERGATE," screamed the handmade sign outside the Rosslyn Metro station this afternoon. "SEND LIBBY ROVE AND CHENEY TO JAIL," it demanded, culminating in the command, underlined twice in red Sharpie, "SEND BUSH TO THE NUTHOUSE."
It's not the first time political lit has been handed out at the Rosslyn Metro station. There have been a couple people passing out flyers for Virginia's gubernatorial candidates, quickly engaged in a race to the bottom vis à vis negative ads, and every couple of weeks there is some otherwise reasonable person handing out the latest issue of Lyndon LaRouche's newsletter. The Bad as Watergate sign seemed closer to the LaRouche lit than the governor's race.
Except the LaRouche people don't usually have a sign. Nor do they have a card table attached to the sign. If they did have a table, it might have just as many pamphlets and newsletters piled on it, but it certainly wouldn't have had what the As Bad as Watergate booth had: a couple of people who were actually paying attention.

Maybe not as bad as Watergate, but probably as gate as a waterbed. - UT SwimmerPost a Comment
