Worse than Watergate and far more dangerous

As it turns out when John Dean's book, Worse than Watergate was published over a year ago we weren't even aware of the worst yet. John Dean spoke primarily about the secrecy surrounding everything that goes on in the Bush administration and the collection of lies and deception that led to the debacle in Iraq. A year later we have a conspiracy not to cover up a botched political dirty trick but a conspiracy to cover up the outing of not only CIA agent Valerie Plame but an entire CIA operation. Nixon didn't get away with his attempted conspiracy because the Republicans in the House and Senate put the good of the country before partisan politics. It's different in the House and the Senate now and that's what makes it more dangerous than Watergate. Both the House and the Senate are loaded with wingnut Bush cultists like Senator Pat Roberts of Kansas. As I reported below his reaction to the Plame investigation is to investigate the investigator, Judge Fitzgerald. To lawmakers like Pat Roberts protection of the Bush administration is much more important than the safety and well being of the Nation or it's people. In this toxic atmosphere there is a dangerous possibility that Bush will succeed where Nixon couldn't and escape the consequences of his vicious and evil actions.
