2. John Gotti condemns Sammy the Bull
Yeah, I would imagine that Nixon's merry band of thugs and criminals would be angry at the guy who exposed them all.

6. They :"He should have resigned, like a good little whistleblower"...
Yeah, you mean like Former Bush Treasury Secratary Paul O'Neil, Head of the CiA's Bin Laden Desk Michael Scheurer, NSA Terrorism Head Richard Clarke and Pentagon Planning Office member Lt. Col Karen Kwaitkowski all did?

7. I really don't give a rat's
ass what ex-felon liddy has 2 say about anything. Sent another email to franken's show cuz he had him on again. Franken needs 2 get over his liberal guilt of giving the other side equal voice. liddy kept calling it 'checkbook journalism', 'checkbook journalism', 'checkbook journalism', over & over(it is Wednesday so the norquist talking point for the day is out)...franken said NOTHING until after the break.

8. G. Gordon Liddy
He is the only "aide" mentioned so the headline is misleading - but his is the only name that came to my mind as someone who would "condemn" deep throat. Clicked article to see if it was him and .....Presto!

10. You hear this and wonder why we are currently in 'Nam 2 ...?
People never learn. And airheads like Liddy are beyond all help...

Nixon was a crook. That is all there is to it four words. You would think by now they would have seen the light.

The whistleblower in question be it the man who came out yesterday or not, was a full blown hero.

If not what kind of KGB-Mickey Mouse operation are we running in D.C.? We should expect this action in the face of criminal intent not condemn it.

Up is down wrong is right with the new Republican party....

OrWell '04...

13. You know, if I'm ever convicted of a crime
If I'm ever convicted of a crime as serious as subverting the government during a time of war, aiding and abetting a war criminal in the pursuit of his nefarious schemes, I hope that 30 years down the line, I'm given free rein to badmouth the folks that ratted me out and that it's carried on major news outlets without a chance for rebuttal.

But first, I need a swine mentality transplant.
