I was a high school senior when the wheels came off of President Richard Nixon’s administration. I remember not having any interest in the Watergate Hearings and that shocked people who knew me. How could I not be glued to the TV? they’d ask. My reply was that there wasn’t anything new there for me.

I’d known that Nixon was a bad actor in 1968. It just took the rest of the country five years and a landslide election to catch up with me.

So, while I continue to applaud the gradual awakenings of Conservatives and Republicans like Andrew Sullivan, I’m finding myself less and less interested in their realizations.

I think I’m really channeling my inner Sparky.
