I thought the Pearl harbor comment extremely ironic given the information I have heard regarding that exact scenario did occur--and not from loony places. My understanding is that quite a bit of information is now available to the public on this.

Regardless, you leapfrogged an era: the Carter re-election scandal in regards to hostage released. It not only didn't bury the party, people were scratching their heads about what all the hubabaloo was when the same administration attempted a cameo appearance on the Bush wing--and we were called unpatriotic and traitorous.
