"At least we're doing better than Uruguay and France." As a Uruguayan, I wouldn't say so :) , and the point is: "it seems the pesky ghost of Watergate just won't go away" The perception of corruption in the US comes from the high-level cronyism in the Bush administration, not from Watergate. (Enron, Halliburton and Dick Cheney don't have a good reputation on these parts). And I'm certain there will be some mud on the Democrats' side as well afterwards. In Uruguay we do have some problems with high-level corruption, but it's the low level small things that put us on a slightly lower level than the US.
