Many people have their reputations as reporters and analysts because they are on television, batting around conventional wisdom. A lot of these people have never reported a story.

We're not going to have another Watergate in our lifetime. I'm sure.

They need to review this secret world. We have an incredibly powerful government that gets on automatic pilot.

People like to pigeonhole and say, Well, I'm a Washington insider, and you know, that's quite silly. What does that even mean?

Watergate provides a model case study of the interaction and powers of each of the branches of government. It also is a morality play with a sad and dramatic ending.

We need to police ourselves in the media.

It would seem that the Watergate story from beginning to end could be used as a primer on the American political system.
