    Holy shit that sentence would be the most perfect line of satire ever written if it weren't written in utter earnest.

      "Yeah, Nixon probably shouldn't have done Watergate, but also, the press shouldn't be leaking classified documents, sweaty."

        No, it's not even that; it's a COMPLETE bait-and-switch. It would be like: "It's impossible to overstate the severity of the Watergate scandal! It is UNFORGIVABLE that the Washington Post published this level of privileged information."
