Money talks. Lets write a song along those lines.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Excellent example of the phenomenon. When a Republican ox is being gored, it's all good for the MSM.
Just catching the Today show opening here in Chicago...Katy opens saying that she's so excited to find out about Deep Throat, we've all been wondering for so many years...
PUKE!
Colonic Catie went on to say that they'd be interviewing others who would have the opposite opinion!!! LOL.....they were both shocked at the vehemence of Buchanan's and Colson's argument against Felt.
Sounds like someone the RATS would elect as a President.
Felt has had a stroke and his memory is faulty.
It's funny that when this Nixon/Watergate thing happened I was a newly wed with a husband who had just returned from Viet Nam. We were so busy trying to make ends meet that we didn't give politics much attention. I remember my dad saying that Nixon didn't know anything about this. He was just trying to protect his friends. In light of politics today, Watergate seems insignificant. Was my dad right?
I pointed this out in a post yesterday- they freely admit they did it for the money- which in my opinion draws the motives of all the players into question:
From the Vanity Fair article:
At one lunch at a scenic restaurant overlooking the Pacific, Joan and Mark sat their father down to lay out the case for full, public disclosure. Felt argued with them, according to his son, warning them not to betray him. “I don’t want this out,” Felt said. “And if it got in the papers, I’d guess I’d know who put it there.” But they persisted. They explained that they wanted their father’s legacy to be heroic and permanent, not anonymous. And beyond their main motive— posterity—they thought that there might eventually be some profit in it. “Bob Woodward’s gonna get all the glory for this, but we could make at least enough money to pay some bills, like the debt I’ve run up for the kids’ education,” Joan recalls saying. “Let’s do it for the family.” With that, both children remember, he finally agreed. “He wasn’t particularly interested,” Mark says, “but he said, ‘That’s a good reason.’”
MILLIONAIRE DAD
My dad is a hero. Add another zero.
He's just so debonaire although he's lost his hair.
Add another zero.
He snuck around and lied. The law he blatantly defied.
Add another zero.
etc....
I saw G. Gordon Liddy on the Matthews show last night, and he stated that Nixon didn't order the Watergate operation, that it was John Dean who did so, and that Nixon went down defending something he was not responsible for.
Yes, your Dad was right. I remember my Dad telling me about the Kennedy family when I was going to vote for the first time. It altered my opinion of Kennedy even though I had been brainwashed by my Catholic High School.
That's because in the Clintonista regime, they had a hatchet woman!
I assume al Qatie Couric musters the same level of indignation about Sandy Berglers absconding with high-level classified documents in his pants out of the National Archives...
No???
Did Katie view Linda Tripp as heroic?
I think there's an interesting backstory here, about how and why this revelation came out the way it did. I wonder if anyone will look into that.
And if whistleblowing is so heroic, why the silence on so many Dem pols? And McCain?
Basically, the FBI were doing black bag wire taps without warrants on the radicals. They were illegal, and Felt authorized them. Reagan pardoned Felt in 81.
Excellent rhetorical question!
