What Watergate? What 18 ½ Minutes Of Silent Tape? What Pardon? Poem by Joe Rosochacki

Back in the Nixon presidency,
Back in the ‘70’s,
Long before there were hard drives,
Back when most politicians hid most of their affairs from their wives,
For life was simpler.
The Watergate Conspiracy brought down a sitting president,
And the 18 ½ minutes of tape that was erased was all evident,

That a crime did occur.

Now the National Archives lost a massive hard drive,
From the Clinton years,
Back in the Clinton presidency,
Back in the ‘90’s,
There were hard drives,
Some politicians tried to hide their affairs from their wives,
For life has become complicated,
It appears that the data stored on this drive,
Contains massive amounts of information,
Enough to fill millions of books,
This ‘lost’ drive of the National Archives,
-surpasses the break-in at the Watergate,
The information of billions of 18 ½ minutes of tapes on it compared to a single event is 'lost'.
Vince Foster who?
White Water and Travelgate who?
Monica Lewinsky who?
Marc Rich who?
Untold financial contributors who?
We are not in ‘Whoville’ anymore Dr. Seuss.
This lost National Archive is not lost; (like the TV show is)
-it is merely in a different location,
Under the auspices of the guardians of the ‘Blood Royale’,
-the Priory of Clinton,
Hillary is Secretary of State;
Bill was tapped to become the UN special envoy to Haiti,
They don’t have time to ‘clean the disc’,
It smells pretty fishy to me,

That a crime did occur.

Marc Rich is alive and well,

Monica was seen last fashioning hand bags on QVC,

White Water was replaced by Black Water and then no water,

Travelgate went belly-up and
---Vince Foster is still dead,
And so,
As far as the hard drive that contains 1 terabyte* of digital information;

'The IG** is investigating the situation as a crime with the assistance of the Department of Justice and the Secret Service but they have not yet determined if the loss was the result of theft or accidental loss, ' Issa said.

What’s this a joke? April Fool's Day has passed almost two months ago.
