1. Despite being over 40 years removed from the scandal that rocked the Nixon administration, we still cannot come up with a new suffix to identify scandals, even though the original one was actually named after a specific place-which makes adding "gate" to the end of words associated with new scandals both ridiculous, and frankly, lazy.
2.When you like/dislike the person apologizing you hear the apology and/or explanation exactly how you want to. So if you are not a fan you will find fault with each part of the apology, and if you are a fan you will find most of the apology/explanation praiseworthy.
3. Politicians and those who work for them will do things that are good for themselves and their egos, their constituents not really taken into consideration. In fact they are often collateral damage in a quest for power, that sometime will benefit some people, but often very few. This is true for both revenge type incidents, and backroom deals with quid pro quos.
4. Despite the above, our system of government is probably still the best, as long as people are not apathetic or too partisan. People need to think for themselves, and not worry if they cannot be labeled politically because they do not wholeheartedly embrace all platforms and ideologies of one party.
5. The Palisades Parkway remains the best way to get to the George Washington Bridge.

You cannot use, inconvenience, harm and delay thousands of people to act as pawns in your internecine struggles
