7. I have not.

I remember the conversations at that time.
I had just graduated from highschool. The same arguments, same BS.
Wait for, " the good of the country" to keep a lying, cheating treasonous POTUS in office.
It will come.

12. Welcome to DU, SethH!

MAN, that old cliche - "the more things change, the more they remain the same" - is confirmed yet again.

There's nothing new about "Whataboutism" except that it now has a semi-official name. And "everybody else is doing it" is a moldy-oldie for ALL of us from 2nd grade, if not earlier.

13. Remove the word Chappaquiddick and replace it with Hillary Clinton.

It's all the same dirty GOP playbook.

[Amaryllis]

17. I was thinking the same: replace Chappaguiddick with "But her emails!"

[Gothmog]

14. I remember and used to love Buchwald

This is a great column by a great man that is relevant today
