[Verginius Rufus]

If I remember rightly, on one of the White House tapes, John W. Dean is talking to President Nixon and uses the expression "No zealot like a convert" as if it is a well-known expression.

Of course Dean illustrated that later by the zeal he showed defaming Republicans such as George W. Bush and in defending Democrats such as Bill Clinton. That may have been in part because he had been lionized by Democrats during the Watergate investigation, once he changed sides.

Over the years I have developed a sever distaste for “born again” of any faith.
