Watergate Gang Redux

Found this from Spot-On...Chris Nolan did a great job here matching the 1970's cast of crooks with today's cast of crooks. Learn more here.

"You know that old saw about those who don't learn history being condemned to repeat it? Well, it's time to remind the Bush folks - who are fundamentally all about the politics of consolidating the president power that was taken away from Richard Nixon and the office he held in the post-Watergate era - of the people they bring to mind (and the jail sentences they earned, if any).

So, Dick Cheney, meet
John Mitchell (conspiracy, obstruction of justice, perjury)
Scooter Libby, meet
John Dean (obstruction of justice)
Karl Rove, meet
H.R. Halderman (conspiracy, obstruction of justice).
Porter Goss meet
E. Howard Hunt (wiretapping, conspiracy, burglary)
Tony Snow, meet
Ron Zeigler.
Joe Wilson, meet
Larry O'Brien
Arlen Specter, meet
Howard Baker
Lindsey Graham meet
Lowell Weicker
That outta get the party started.....
