"quotations" of the "day"

I've long been skeptical about Watergate mythology. I've also long been amazed over how the MSM gets away with continuing to bask in their 1970s Watergate victory with a straight face -- despite the fact that an ever larger portion of the chorus was in diapers at the time. (Or not even born!)

So, it's always nice to see this self-congratulatory cult (based on the strained idea of continued Woodward-and-Bernstein hero worship) lose a little of its luster. And it was a special treat to see the Watergate cult derided in terms like this:

For a press corps so enamored with itself over what Booby and Bernstein did over 3 decade ago they seem to not be aware that just about all of the "evils" of the Nixon administration have in fact been repeated by the Bush administration.
The critic is Atrios, and yeah, he's Bush-bashing as usual.

But I just can't get over seeing quotation marks around the "evils" of the Nixon administration!

Marvelous.

Hmmmm....

Come to think of it, how did "Bush administration" slip through without any quotation marks around the word "admininstration"?

And what does all this suggest about the "lesser" of the two "evils"?
