With Benghazi, the IRS (one of the articles of impeachment accused Nixon of using the IRS for political purposes), the NSA, and the other myriad scandals surrounding the current administration, why is this news? Expiration date on blaming Bush has been reached, so the media has to go back to a 'real' scandal huh?

And nobody died at/during Watergate. Nixon didn't ask the the IRS to audit anyone, and they didn't.

Talk about lame. Where was the actual phone call - all I could see was 3 Wapo pompous assholes telling us what to think.

Reagan was a nice man. It was his "talking softly" talent used on Gorbachev while holding a huge stick of US military might that won Gorby's trust and that won the Cold War.

So Reagan talking softly to his fellow Californian Nixon is not a scandal.
