3. Fun fact: while this panel is from the Watergate era it's actually about AG John Mitchell

and not about Nixon

5. It also got the strip pulled from a bunch of newspapers

The excuse was that Doonesbury was pronouncing Mitchell guilty without affording him due process (even though the first three panels softened the language that the evidence developed so far might lead one to conclude that Mitchell is guilty). While a lot of papers pulled just that day's strip, others used it as a pretext for refusing to run Doonesbury at all, and a couple of papers began running it on the op ed page.

...earlier this week.

It’s just as I remember it.

7. One "Guilty!" for each Republican putting country ahead of party

Moscow Mitch just says they're all be no vote whip or reprisals for this vote, that it's a vote of conscious for each senator. Of course I don't believe him

8. Them was some times. You know, when satire was king and

Nixon’s men sucked it big time. 🤣
