History's latest con happened right before our eyes Tuesday night. We thought we'd settled in to watch the nonstop cable news when suddenly our television screen was transformed into Alice's looking glass.

All reality was backward. But perhaps only the old-timers in our midst knew it. For millions of viewers were not even born when those faces that just popped up in the looking-glass/screen were all the president's men, once in power and then in disgrace, more than three decades ago.

Richard Nixon's ex-convicts - who did jail time for their crimes against democracy and then profited from their crimes by writing books and becoming celebrities - had returned to work one more con. Nixon's former senior White House assistant, Charles Colson, and the Nixon team's burglar-in-chief, G. Gordon Liddy, worked the cable news circuit, expressing moral indignation that the FBI's former deputy director, W. Mark Felt, was Deep Throat.

1. Yeah, it's all part of the plan...

just keep talking and lies become the truth when repeated enough.

And the crooks and liars talk enough that reminding everyone that they are crooks and liars gets lost in the fog of words.

Goebbels and Stalin are laughing their asses off in hell.

2. That "moral indignation" ...

Has been the theme of many of the rightists on TV this weekend, including Haig. They're all saying Felt's not a hero for telling the truth and exposing Nixon for the creep that he was, and that he should have kept quiet in the best interest of the country, 'cause as we know, they don't think the truth isn't in the best interest of the country.
Truly unbelievable! They're truly psychotic assholes.

3. Their re-history never ends. This was a plan to steal information from

Democratic Headquarters so they could win the election. Treason is as far as I will go in describing it. The President & his officers are elected to protect the republic's best interests - in this case the democratic process itself.

Democrats were the intended victims here. Millions and millions of democrats.

4. What do Colson and Liddy know about ethics? Being called unethical by

those two is like being called ugly by a Newt (Gingrich).
