This is about where I am now. Everyday more bits and pieces of this puzzle....I have Russian fatigue to tell you the truth.
I remember how easy it was to get Watergate-fatigued in the first fourteen months of that scandal, no matter
whether you supported or opposed Nixon otherwise. And the bits and pieces still coming forth made it impossible
to rest from it then, too. When Barry Goldwater spoke of Watergate beginning to smell like Teapot Dome, he
probably had no idea he'd look back on that day as one of the more restful days of his political life in comparison
to what came after. (One recalls that, after the revelation of the smoking gun tape, it was Goldwater who was
deputised by a group of senators to bring Nixon the word that he wouldn't survive impeachment in the House
or a trial in the Senate, even if a smart lawyer---which Nixon didn't have---could beat one of the three prospective
articles of impeachment.)
I didn't support either Donaldus Minimus or the old bat Hilarious Rodent Clinton in the election, but something
even then told me that it wasn't exactly going to be a stroll on the beach with
either of those two in the White
House. That said, you begin to wonder if you'll see even one week without some new bit or piece coming forth
just when you thought it was safe to breathe for a day or two.
