Watergate redux?
A House panel has voted to find Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for refusing- on the President's orders- to turn over documents in the Operation Fast and Furious probe.
The Obama administration is claiming executive privilege.
As if the Administration that Couldn't Shoot Straight didn't have enough problems, the President now finds himself in the midst of a full-blown scandal.

I believe that Watergate left an indelible mark on my generation — the one that was passing through junior high and high school at the time, and had its youthful idealism and naïveté about government exploded earlier than I think the previous generation's had. As a middle school history teacher, I've endeavored to explain to my students just how disillusioning that entire period was. I put together a video summarizing the events.
