Contract with America, impeachment, etc. Bush I, Reagan, Nixon, LBJ, Kennedy (I exclude Ford and Carter from this) all had their moments but it was before the advent of the internet which changed everything both in terms of us finding out about the stupid stuff our politicians are doing and in terms of our politicians using the medium to broadcast lies and innuendo in hopes of garnering the stupid vote.
And wouldn't you have thought us getting this knowledge through the Internet would have made a difference? What a disappointment.
It has made a difference, it has made things worse. Which prove that lies and stupidity travel faster than truth and intelligence.
