Hah! How many Americans read the New York Times? This should have been the lead story on all 3 Networks and the cable "news" shows. How old are you, if I may ask? Because if this had happened in the 1970's and 1980's, this would have been, in Joe Biden's words, "a big fucking deal."

When a ranking member of a House Committee deliberately kept feeding a lie to make a president look bad, he would have had to resign back in my day.
