with Nixon's fall came the fall of South Vietnam, thousands executed, hundreds of thousands of boat people struggling in the South China Sea and a holocaust in Cambodia.Behold the real Watergate legacy, lost on the Left.

“Behold the real Watergate legacy, lost on the Left.”
But that is what the Left was clamoring for. Death and destruction are always a desired result for them.

And when speaking of Vietnam, the left will always mention Nixon in the same sentence. Not Kennedy nor Johnson. And Watergate? That was kids stuff when it came to Clinton.

Behold the real Watergate legacy, lost on the Left. It's not lost on the Left. It's consistent with the teaching of one of the Left's heros: "You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs."

That was the immediate aftermath.
The long term implications are much more lasting - every two-bit ‘reporter’ dreaming of being Woodward.
We now have the modern day journalism doctrine (’making’ news to justify the ends) and Dan Rather’s courage.

I clearly remember the media constantly mocking the “domino theory.” I’m sure the Cambodians are still laughing.
I don’t recall the MSM apology.
