I'm being kind of lazy here. Which particular character in the Watergate saga spilled the beans about the tapes? It is my impression that without those, life in the White House would have been uncomfortable but that impeachment would probably have never been a looming reality. I believe that Felt did not offer that evidence. But I forget who did.

Jason, I'm always astonished at the ignorance people have about Nixon. Nixon wasn't a conservative. He was a fairly centrist Republican of the era. He favored affirmative action, government intervention in economic affairs, and moderately generous social welfare spending.

Jason must be living in another world. Dream on Jason. As far as the watergate thing goes, no doubt that both woodword and Bernstein were motivated by Money. These two left wingers didn,t give a damn about the damage they did to our country as long as they got their grundgy hands on the bucks.
And Jason, I guess you condone murder and violation of the law as long as it's one of your lefty buddies. The Terri Schiavo Murder was what the Denocrats wanted and Kerry, Dean, Gore, Kennedy and the rest of those loonies will soon be on the outside looking in and pay for their wrongdoings at the balot box.

What's so funny, I did not make anything up. What did I lie about. Do you really not think a progressive revolution is happening. 59 MILLION people voted for John Kerry the most Liberal Democratic nominee since Dukakis in 1988. Also the republican party will have it's own civil war within itself between the moderates and the conservatives. The radical right-wing christian fundamentalist are scaring people out of the republican party (terri schiavo). and they are a minority there were only 20 million who claimed "morals" as their top concern when voting.

Speaking of Nixon, i'm glad to see his "Great silent majority" is dying off, along with the conservative movement and the republican party it self. What do I mean by that, well lets look Nixon won re-election in 1972 by 23 points, Reagan won re-election in 1984 by 18 points, bush only won re-election by 3 points. MoveOn.org has 3.5 million members the christian coaliltion only has 1.2 million members. Democrats have taken over the entire Northeast and will own it completly after 2006 and they have made serious inroads into the rocky mountain west (Colorado and Montana) appealing to the libertarians in that region. Howard Dean is learning from Newt gingrich, tom delay and karl rove. And luckly for us Dems where even geting help from the moderate republicans who plan to fight the conservatives (Thanks Christine todd whitman)

Actually, I believe the guys at PowerLine were the first to point out this article in Commentary magazine. This prompted Commentary magazine to look through their archives and post the full article on their web site. Subsequently, the Wall Street Journal posted a review by Epstein of Blind Spot
