Obvious analogies? Nixon saying "Yes, I'm a crook, I fully intend to remain a crook, and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it!", or (for our republican friends) "Yes, I had sexual relations with that woman, in her ass, and I made her lick the shit off my dick, do you want sloppy seconds?" Why are there no impeachment hearings? I know, these abuses of power may save a few american lives. But hey, "freedom isn't free", huh?
