Dean’s participation in this was a complete farce, and I do believe the public recognized it as such.
It was a bust but I doubt the public can recognize their backsides with both hands. Each day I'm allowed to open my eyes, I'm less impressed with the generally dumb public.
I seriously doubt whether the public is even aware of who John Dean is. He was news over 40 years ago. Or that he appeared in Nadler's hearing.
The general public doesn't pay attention to this stuff and most don't care.
Just the hardcore, like FReepers, and political critters.
