Groundhog Day, Over and Over and OverNeil's comment in Duane's post about the emerging news re the Valerie plame leak, that more and more we realize that this White House is based on that of Nixon, makes me need to share this post from Steve Pizzo's blog "Newsforreal." It begins with the two paragraphs that follow, and goes on to give quotes from Bush's speech of the past week, and compare them with quotes from speeches by both Nixon and LBJ about the war in Viet Nam. It really is deja vu all over again, no doubt about it.As I noted in an earlier column, I'm an old fart. Five more years and I will qualify for both Social Security and Medicare - if they're still around. The trouble with getting old is almost everyday is another deja vu experience. It seems the human race suffers from a nearly flat learning curve, because we keep repeating past mistakes with alarming frequency and enthusiasm. | +Save/Share | | |
