Storm, meet teacup. Drama on the interwebs.

  One wonders if you had been around in 1972 and heard about some arrests at the Watergate hotel if you'd have said the same thing. Perhaps it's a minor incident with no relation to anything. Or it could be the tip of the iceberg.

    Hah, perhaps... Yet, I don't think that corruption at TechCrunch is quite as important as corruption at the very top of the US government... as much as it might seem to matter more to us :-) Then again, I guess an argument could be made both ways. Touché.

      Of course I don't think it's as important as Watergate, just that the analogy (that a minor transgression may be isolated or indicating an endemic problem) works. Hyperbole is a useful rhetorical device.
