In Which Sarah Vowell and I Share an Experience in Common
2009 November 27
Born in the first year of [Noxin's] administration, by the end of it, during the ever-present Watergate hearings on television, I thought Watergate was just a regular TV show, like Bonanza or Scooby-Doo. My mother claims it was unnerving to have a four-year-old always tugging at her hem saying, “Mom, Watergate’s on!” (From The Partly Cloudy Patriot)
I did the same thing with my Gramma G, who was watching the hearings ever so intently.
(Which is why we should have impeached Gorge W. Boosh when we had the chance. TO GET IT ON TELEVISION. Dummies.)
