History in The Faking
November 15, 2019
As reported yesterday, Donald Chrump may not be watching his
presidency, his reputation and hopefully his very future taken behind the
woodshed and beaten like a rug after a dust storm, but many Americans are
watching the current Greatest Show on Earth closely. Impeachment Season 2019 makes the staff at
Paying Attention nostalgic for impeachments past. Personally, I still remember coming home from
school every day and turning on the tiny black-and-white TV set in my kitchen
to watch the inimitable Sen. Sam Irvin lead the ultimately historic Watergate
Hearings.
Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, Senate Watergate
Committee
Regular visitors to this site are all too well aware of our unabashed
obsession with the Watergate Scandal and the subsequent impeachment and departure-in-disgrace
of its deranged perpetrator Richard Nixon.
Nixon hired a group of ex-CIA and Cubans led by G. Gordon Liddy, dubbed “The
Plumbers” to break into the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the
Watergate Hotel in an effort to sabotage the presidential campaign of Nixon’s opponent
– George McGovern.
That Was Then, This Is Wow
Intently angling for his own departure-in-disgrace, Donald
Chrump hired “The Dumbers” in a desperate and stupid attempt to sabotage Chrump’s
presumed opponent for the 2020 presidential race. The Dumbers are led, of course, by
dementia-adjacent Rudy Giuliani, whose idiot minions include Rick “Oops” Perry
and Gordon “I Paid $1M For Chrump’s Inauguation and All I Got Was This Lousy
Ambassadorship and A Possible Indictment For Perjury” Sondland. Giuliani is the genius who, above all else, should
always be remembered for insisting, against all good counsel, that the security
command center for the top leadership of the City of New York be located in Seven
World Trade Center – Ground Zero on 9/11. Rudy did not hire Cubans; he probably thought
they were in ISIS. Instead, America’s
mayor/moron went right to the Motherland, and brought in some top-notch Russian
operatives to help with his treasonesque mission. Two of them – Lev and Igor – are now in
prison, awaiting trial and/or turning state’s evidence.
In the Watergate saga, Deep Throat divulged critical information
to Woodward and Bernstein in the shadows of a Washington, DC parking
garage. In Blabbergate, Dumb Throat,
Donald Chrump personally provided a doctored transcript of his “perfect phone
call” with Ukraine President Zelensky to the news media he so despises. Despite taking the time and effort to
manipulate the transcript before releasing it, the document clearly showed
Chrump committing bribery and/or extortion, or as it was called in Ancient Rome
‘quid pro quo.’ Oh, and then his
chief-of-staff – Mick Mulvaney, who Chrump will soon deny he ever knew – admitted
it and told us all to “get over it” because “we do it all the time.”
This beautiful and very perfect impeachment figures to be an
interesting process, and it is always fun to watch Republican’ts punching
themselves in the face on every single network for hours on end. But I still have not figured out what type of
wine goes with impeach. Red for
Republican’t or white for the color of their nationalism? Or perhaps a nice Russian vodka.

Do I dare to eat impeach?
