"Well, when the President does it, that means that it's not illegal." - Richard M. Nixon

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's basically their justification for exposing an undercover CIA agent, right? Haven't we done this all before?

1. Only seems to apply to Republican presidents
DEM presidents can't even evade questions about extramarital cigar sharing.

4. These swine would use the same rationale if King George exposed himself
on Times Square at high noon.

Nixon was run out of town. So far, Bush & Co have succeeded in telling us all to go fuck ourselves. And so far, it seems there's just not a damn thing we can do about it.

The Republicans did not control all the levers of power when Nixon was president. They do now. Unfortunately, that includes the machines that count our votes.

Until we can find some way to dispose of this criminal cabal, "Well, when the president does it is it's not illegal" is a statement we can despise, but can't do a damn thing about.

5. Unless you're Bill Clinton and you get a blow job
Then It's highly treasonist and worthy of death.
