    Worthwhile---and now

    The History Channel, night 2 of 3 of Watergate---directly from the tapes.

    Starts at 9.

    I think for those that missed this you missed a valuable piece of history. I am going to watch this again. Anyone, who has on demand, would be well rewarded to spend the 6 hours to watch this documentary.

    The cover-up of a third-rate burglary of a political opponent pails to insignificance measured next to the trumped up charges by one political party against a sitting president using the powers of the intelligence apparatus and justice system. Both can and have happened in our lifetime as we are witnesses.

    ..and I am sure that if the right were the left and the left were the right you would espouse the same opinion-----not.

    Please tell us if you watched this.

    Didn't we just have the "second coming" of Watergate the last Presidential election? I did not watch the movies, but I did manage to watch Chappaquiddick a few weeks ago. Eyeopening to say the least as I bet these Watergate movies were as well..
