Wanna bet Tim Lahaye's latest dopey bible thumper installment gets far more attention from the dull witted cable TV "news" squawkers than anything John Dean might have to say.

"Worse Than Watergate," the title of a new book by John Dean, Richard Nixon's White House counsel, is a depressingly accurate measure of the chicanery of the Bush/Cheney cabal. According to Dean, who began his political life at the age of 29 as the Republican counsel on the House Judiciary Committee before being recruited by Nixon, "This administration is truly scary and, given the times we live in, frighteningly dangerous." And when it comes to lies and cover-up, the Bush crowd makes the Nixon administration look like amateurs. As Dean writes, they "have created the most secretive presidency of my lifetime … far worse than during Watergate."

How long will it take the Smear and Smirk machine at the White House to get that tedious drone Wolf Blitzer on the horn and remind him to tell CNN viewers that "unnamed officials" believe that Dean "wants to make a few bucks, and that ... there are some weird aspects in his [personal] life as well."

Oh no, wait, thats what bootlapper Blitzer said about Richard Clarke. Hold on, um, um, um... that John Dean guy likes to heave sacks of kitty cats into rain swollen rivers and set a baby carriages on fire! Yesss, thats it! I heard it from an "undisclosed source" while speaking with someone at an "undisclosed location." Back to you Wolf.
