What do you want to bet we'll be hearing about this relatively minor infringement of the rules from the MSM for the next 20 or 30 years, like that business about Eisenhower's adviser Sherman Adams accepting a fur coat from a contributor. Just yesterday a column on the presidents couldn't refrain from mentioning Eisenhower's terrible scandal as if it were the most important moment of his presidency. And then there was Watergate, which the Democrats will remember as long as the last one lives. But somehow clinton's scandals are already ancient history.
Well, there are so many to chronicle that they tend to coalesce into one amorphous blob.
Was it really an "infringement" on the rules? I haven't seen anything that says it was. In fact, aside from not disclosing, immediately to the public that he was paid for the endorsement, there is no indication the anything unethical, let alone illegal took place. I fail to see where this isn't anything other that another manufactured scandal, used to hurt the administration.
Am I missing something?
That Sherman Adams chinchilla coat was my first introduction to American politics!
I haven't heard it mentioned for decades. ;^)
