This is UNBELIEVABLE!

Richard Clarke's contradictory performance must have been found less than satisfactory. For the get-Bush-at-all-costs crowd is now getting assistance from that most infamous serial perjurer John Dean, who has just penned a new book in which he crows that Bush is worse than Nixon, and that his administration is "Worse than Watergate."

I kid you not; that's the title of his new book! (I found this on Drudge, but the link seems to have been pulled.)

>>NOTE: The Drudge link is there now.<<

I can think of no one in American politics more thoroughly discredited than John Dean, whose lying testimony sent people to prison while covering up his central role in the Watergate burglary.

If Dean's the best they can do, they're really getting desperate!

But what a very odd coincidence this is, for I just contrasted Dean and Clarke less than two weeks ago. (The gods must have been telling me something....)

NOTE: I don't mean to bore anyone with a long digression into John Dean's history -- which I can best characterize as sordid and despicable. Interested readers can start here, and poke around.

If only there had been such a thing as bloggers back in the 1970s!

UPDATE: Amazon readers have been quick to offer book reviews, like this gem:

You've got to be kidding......, April 3, 2004
Reviewer: farfalotis (see more about me) from Wisconsin
Read "Deep Truth" by Adrian Havill to find out all about this "honorable" author, whose own sickening motives and mistakes were the reason for the Watergate break-in in the first place-- to protect his prostitute future wife, yes a bona-fide PROSTITUTE! And exactly "whom" in Washington would have a conversation with this pathological liar in the first place? "The Secret Presidency" ? BWAAAAAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I read this book at Barnes & Noble in about an hour, and the agenda is clear. Dean is hard up for cash and slapped this tome together to jump on the Bush-bashing bandwagon. This junk will be in the $4.98 bin along with alfranken's $1.98 books by the summer.

UPDATE: The timing of the Dean book is slicker than I thought. It's soon to be followed by a new release from Watergate Mythologist-in-Chief Bob Woodward. (HT Arnold Williams, a coup-spotter if ever there was one!)
