Nixon's Mess

I caught part of Watergate Plus 30: Shadow of History last night, and I was surprised to see some familiar faces. The NY Times site has an excellent video clip of Fred Thompson (R-Mole) getting pwn3d by John Dean that appeared in the show.

The documentary got me to thinking: it's entirely possible (though not likely) that Fred Thompson, Minority Counsel to the Senate Watergate Committee, will be running in the general election against Hillary Rodham Clinton, an advisor to the House Committee on the Judiciary regarding impeachment procedures. The election coverage will include Nixon cronies Pat Buchanan and John McLaughlin on The McLaughlin Group, Nixon crony and convicted felon John Dean on MSNBC, Nixon crony and convicted felon G. Gordon Liddy on satellite radio, Nixon crony and convicted felon Charles Colson at Townhall.com, and unindicted co-conspirator and alleged Donald Segretti protege Karl Rove has a column in Newsweek. And don't be alarmed if the Ghost of Gerald Ford feels the need to give his two cents.

Also, Lucianne Goldberg was apparently the "Chapman's Friend" or "Chaplain's Friend" mentioned in the Watergate Hearing transcripts. Her job was to volunteer for the McGovern campaign and leak secret info to Nixon. Did everyone know this but me?

Lucianne Goldberg? Is she of Lucianne the gossip site?

Why don't these people go away? Because the purge wasn't enough. The people who DIDN'T serve time (Rummy and Cheney) figured out the Lessons of Watergate, "Classify everything" Use "national security" to make sure that you have permission to do everything.
Co-op the branches of government and fill them with loyal people. Make sure the media are filled with fearful careerists.
