Nixons revenge.
Bushes pardoning of Libby confirms it. Nixon has reached out from the grave.
So many of the things happening today were started by Nixon. Many of the most incompetent and dangerous men who serve under Bush started out working for Nixon.
To start with the Reaganites are dead. Even Reagan wouldn?t pardon Ollie North on his way out the door. But the Nixonites were ready, willing and able to get Libby a pardon.
So Watergate lives! For those too young to remember Nixon didn?t only get impeached over covering up Watergate. For instance he ordered one of his assistants, Egil Krogh, to illegally break in to Daniel Ellsbergs psychiatrists office to obtain damaging evidence against Ellsberg. Nixon said it was for ?national security? Of course in no way shape or form was it for ?national security? but for political reasons.
Nixon went on television and boldly defended his actions. His exact words were ?when the President does it, its not illegal?
Sound familiar?
Sounds like Bush.
For those who don?t remember the core of Nixons supporters always have said that Nixon should have just destroyed the tapes (with the incriminating evidence).
And that Nixon would have survived impeachment if only he had put loyal supporters on the Supreme Court. When the issue of the tapes went to the Supreme Court it was decided on it?s Constitutional merits. Not the political persuasion the Justices. Thus came the idea of appointing blatantly political candidates only on the Supreme Court.
Sound familiar?
Sounds like Bush.
Nixon was a seriously damaged man. He was paranoid. And the people that he raised up into government were paranoid men. Cheney. Nuff said.
So in the end the survivors of government service under Nixon have become the government today.
And they believe in absolute Presidential power. They believe absolute secrecy. They believe getting caught is the only crime.
When Nixon resigned he admitted no guilt. He said he was resigning because he lost his ?political? support. So the Bushies set about controlling the campaign financing of Congress thru their K Street program. Control the money and you control your Congress.
Nixon would be proud.
