By SnifflesRepublicans never learn, do they? Either that, or we cats are having a tremendous attack of deja vu, because we could have sworn we've seen screaming headlines about some pimply GOP activist trying to bug Mary Landrieu's phones.
(We cats have been buried in work these last couple of days, so we could be mistaken. But we don't think we are.)
Okay, so James O'Keefe — the pustule-ridden youth who's been charged in this crime — is only 25, so he wasn't born yet when Richard Nixon resigned. But, still. O'Keefe is the guy who orchestrated last year's conservative sting on ACORN, so one would assume he might be smarter than this. And Watergate was kind of a big deal. They even made an Oscar-winning movie about it.
Even worse, Senator Landrieu's office isn't in some hotel complex, vulnerable to capering Cubans in the middle of the night. It's in a federal building. Isn't that a little disrespectful? (Not that Republicans care — they seem to have scant regard for government. And the Oval Office was certainly bugged in Nixon's time.)
Well, we cats say, let's all throw the book at the acne-addled Mr. O'Keefe. And while he's in jail, he may want to read up on how those who can't remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
