77. I wouldn't hold my breath.
This won't amount to much of anything.

Televised...maybe. But not like Watergate. The big three networks aren't going to shut off moneymakers like soaps to televise it. CNN, Fox, etc aren't going to do much more than a cursory story if anything. A little C-span and a 15 second sound bite on the network news should just about do it in today's climate.

This is a different time and a different congress. Crime and corruption is commonplace in Washington. The days of being ashamed for lying, wrong-doing, hypocrisy, etc are over. In fact it's almost fashionable.
