"Because most people weren't listening the first time."
Why does history repeats itself? I believe this quote comes from Lily Tomlin.

In this case, however, it has more to do with Iraq (formerly Vietnam), Rove (formerly Oliver North), WMD claims (formerly Watergate), and Enron's deregulation and exploitation of California's energy market (Teapot Dome, Credit Mobilier, Stock Market Crash of 1929). Here's what history tells us... if you want a lot of shit going on, vote Republican. Fortunately, you really don't even have to do that anymore--they'll take care of it for you.

4. That is a brilliant quote, Joneschick: "I may have to settle for... "
"...early onset Alzheimer's"

Expect me to steal this line.

3. Hey...
the only second chance you get in life is to make the same mistake TWICE! Watching the Bushies define the Watergate absolute "it's not the crime, it's the cover-up" is a joy to behold.
