Default Watergate all over again

http://www.nola.com/politics/index.s...ested_for.html

O'Keefe (the ACORN pimp guy) and several others were arrested after trying to bug Senator Landrieu's office.

Quote:
On Tuesday at 4:40 p.m., O'Keefe, Dai and Basel were released from the jail and were waiting for a cab. Asked to comment, O'Keefe said only, "Veritas," which is Latin for "truth."

If this is true there idiots.. way to blow some good investigative reporting.

I will have to take it at face value as being true but I still somehow suspect a setup. Its just too convienent.

Watergate? You really think so? I find it difficult to believe that the White House is involved...

But seriously, I'm drawing similarities between two groups of Republicans trying to bug Democrat offices and getting caught.

I assumed as much based on them messing around with phones, asking to see the phone closet, and the fact that one of their friends was found with a listening device a few blocks away.

I guess time will tell but Watergate comparisons might be a bit premature.
