Despite my young age at the time I was somewhat of an authority on all things Watergate I read the news cover to cover on it all every day. Afterwards I devoured everything I could read by everyone involved. That said, I think this charge is a bit silly. (and I'm no defender of Dean who is a complete ass in my opinion.)

But I’ve always thought Rosen was a careful journalist. I’d give him more credibility over Dean, at least enough to consider his charges.

I was in college at the time and followed the Watergate news very closely. During the summer I would come home from my job and immediately plant myself in front of the TV to watch the hearings (yeah, I was a politics nerd even back then).

One thing that always nagged at me was how quickly Dean flipped. I mean, it was a mind-boggling complete 180. One day the Democrats were calling him a sleazy, lying bastard and the next day the Republicans were calling him a sleazy, lying bastard.

(Ironically, I believe both sides were correct.)

Dean’s fingerprints are all over the break-in. As another poster pointed out, the break-in made no sense on the face of it. It never did. The only question about the ‘72 election was how big of a landslide Nixon would get. Mo Dean is the link.
