Poll question: Do the 5 million e-Mail Messages = Nixon's missing 18 minutes?

Nixon's fate was sealed when it was discovered that the tapes he turned over (to the special prosecutor?) had been edited. Now we discover that Bush & Co. have been concealing their communications throughout his presidency. Is this the tipping point?

1. 5,000,000 emails is MUCH more than just 18 minutes.

Much, MUCH more.

2. The 5 million missing emails are FAR WORSE than the missing

minutes! I suggest you all read "Worse than Watergate" by John Dean. He wrote this book several years ago, but he knew even then that this crowd, including many of the same people, is MUCH WORSE than Nixon ever dreamed of!

5. I agree with Dean. The Bushian damage exceeds Nixon's . . .

In all factors except the sheer number of dead American military (Nixon still bests Bush there).

But I'm curious -- in the downward spiral of the Bush presidency, will the missing e-mail messages be the same type of turning point that the 18 minutes was for Nixon? The event (rightly or wrongly) after which nothing was ever really the same?

3. TIP-OVER Point.............

The entire bush presidency has been edited with the 'Del'ete button. Laws have been broken BUT that doesn't seem to matter in this era of corruption and malfeasance as usual.

4. Other: "Losing" 5 million e-mails is in a league by itself.

This is blatant criminality. The cover story would be laughable
if situation weren't so dire.

7. Other: 5 mil e-mails is much more than 17 minutes, but precisely

because of the sheer magnitude, it won't matter much. Remember, one death is a tragedy, 1 million deaths is a statistic.
