Watching the fall of Rupert Murdoch play itself out has brought back old, old memories. Memories of the only political scandal I’ve experienced in my homeland that comes even close to what’s been unfolding in the UK right now: Watergate. And to judge from this British piece and this Canadian one, I’m not the only person to be thinking of Watergate in connection with all of this.

Murdoch, his son, and his indicted “fifth” daughter get ready to testify before Parliament later this morning.

Conservatives are starting to talk like the conclusion of every ‘Scooby Doo’ episode and saying they’d get away with it if it wasn’t for those meddling liberals.

Another Murdoch scandal comes and might as well go in this country.
