Nope. In those days, he went by "Lanny J. Davis." There may be a new one out, but the one I'm talking about was written in 1974 and was gloating about the Democrat's coup in removing Nixon and putting the original RINO putz, Gerald Ford into office.
I suppose I mistook him for the other, more notorious Lanny Davis, who-I believe-was just a few years out of college at the time.
Aside from Panetta, I think that Roger Morris, Daniel Ellsberg and a host of other liberal parasites who managed to insinuate themselves into the inner circle of the Nixon administration wrote scathing denunciations of their former employer, after leaving public service.
Of course, I wish that Panetta had stayed away.
