WASHINGTON -- Attorney Sam Dash, whose probing questions during televised Senate hearings into the Watergate scandal made him a household name in the 1970s, died Saturday after a lengthy illness.
Dash, who had been hospitalized since January, died at the Washington Hospital Center at the age of 79, according to family members.

Fact is, this guy's questioning and spinning of the answers eventually turned into an evisceration of the CIA that left us naked and helpless in the face f AlQaida intrigue.
I remember Dash showing up at the hearings on Starr's staff and feeling like the fix was in. He was an insider and I regret to say at his passing that he was not a friend of the right.
He stabbed Starr in the back. The guy was an SOB.
One less communist in the world.....
May he rest in peace, but my thought exactly. Why does the right keep reaching out to liberals? Will they ever learn?
Even as you read this, Sam Dash is reconsidering the wisdom of what he did during Watergate. As for me, I am satisfied that justice is finally occuring.
It might also be argued that Sam had no more than a passing acquaintance with the truth...
Dash soiled himself so badly in relation to Starr, that any possible glory was struck down. Those who prided themselves in taking down Nixon because he was dirty, courted Clinton and his cronies with reckless abandon. They were whores one and all.
Islam is always waiting to exploit weakness. Watergate left a void in American politics that was filled by the peronification of weakness, Jimmy Carter. Islam exploited this weakness by launching the Islamic Revolution in Iran and setting the world on the path that lead to 9/11.
I hope those Watergaters had fun tearing down the country, because the price tag sure was high.
