Goodwin Redux


There is Goodwin's Law which states that:
As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.
I certainly have been guilty of that. However, more recently, I would modify the law to say:
As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of it involving the War in Iraq approaches 1.

As an online discussion with a conservative/Republican regarding the Iraq war and Bush in general grows longer, the probability of that person blaming Clinton for all of it approaches 1.

Yes, and did you notice how the Repugs responded when Clinton tried to "take out" Sadam? What a difference a day makes.
