There Was Only One Watergate

I got a big kick out of Al Kamen's column in this morning's Washington Post. Here's my favorite part...

Washington generally exists in a hyperbolic state, but even the most jaded ears had to prick up when Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) declared to the Washington Times that L’Affaire Benghazi is “10 times bigger” than the Watergate and Iran-contra scandals combined. So, let’s do the math. If Watergate ended in a president’s resignation, plus dozens of criminal convictions, and Iran-contra yielded 11 convictions, and Benghazi is 10 times that serious . . . wait a sec . . . the one . . . then it will result in at least 10 presidents resigning and hundreds of convictions.

Of course it's ridiculous to constantly call everything bigger than Watergate. It's just nice to finally see somebody pointing that out.
