Officials at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, Calif., have invited John Dean to speak there on the 37th anniversary of the Watergate break-in, slapping the faces not only of those sympathetic to the former president but, more important, history itself.

No, but there's a display on that traitor/Communist Alger Hiss.
Indeed!
I might have to pick that up. sure are a wide range of reader opinions on the book at the link which usually means I would find the book interesting at least.

Well, they need to have something there on that treasonous SOB, including the fact that he's signed-on to the Revolutionary Communist Party's World Can't Wait movement. The RCP calls for the violent overthrow of the U.S. government.
Have you seen any of the new Watergate displays?
ha!
Just Damn. What says G. Gordon?
Wow, that’s not right:
Liddy Wins, John Dean Loses
June 29, 2000
G. Gordon Liddy said that White House Counsel John Dean had ordered an earlier break-in to plant a bug on a phone that was used to arrange dates with call girls for visiting Democratic dignitaries.
Judge Emmit Sullivan, a federal judge in Washington, has added an important chapter to the saga of Watergate, the scandal that toppled Richard Nixon, but the media have not reported it. Nine years ago, Silent Coup, a best-selling book by Len Colodny and Robert Gettlin, challenged the accepted version of the Watergate story.
They claimed they had found the answer to a question that puzzled a lot of people: Why did the Nixon reelection campaign send a burglary team into the offices of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in June 1972?
G. Gordon Liddy, who served four years in prison for his role in the operation, has said it was not until he read Silent Coup that he finally learned the real reason for the caper. He said that White House Counsel John Dean had ordered an earlier break-in to plant a bug on a phone that was used to arrange dates with call girls for visiting Democratic dignitaries, and that the second break-in was ordered after address books giving the names of the girls being called fell into the hands of the police. Silent Coup claimed that this was of great concern to Dean because his lover’s name was listed under the code name “Clout,” a reference to her connection with Dean.
...Nevertheless, the media have treated Dean as a respected figure and something of a hero. He was in prison only four months, compared to over four years for Gordon Liddy, who accused Dean of perjury and virtually dared him to sue. In 1992, Dean sued Colodny, Gettlin, their publisher and Liddy. Gettlin and the publisher settled two or three years ago. Colodny and Liddy did not.
...On June 2, Dean withdrew most of his charges against Liddy and the judge dismissed the rest. Liddy declared total victory and repeated his charge that Dean is a liar.

“people around here don’t want to believe that Nixon did anything wrong”
Harboring a leftist idea for one second in one’s secret heart of hearts is a worse crime against humanity than anything Nixon did.

“I got my pencilllll...”
Thanks for the heads up. I will check out the book.
Did you read Silent Coup?
They were rolling out the red carpet for John Dean today, literally. Left about 5:45 and it was all laid out and taped down on the steps, ready for tomorrow.
I have to work this evening, so I can’t attend the Dean event. However, I will be there on Friday afternoon to hear Marty Anderson talk about his new book on Reagan.
