Frankie makes the case that the current conservative crazy-dog crisis biting the help and digging up the peonies in the Fourth Estate is a bloody damn mess:
When John Dean published his book "Worse Than Watergate" in the spring of 2004, it seemed rank hyperbole: an election-year screed and yet another attempt by a Nixon alumnus to downgrade Watergate crimes by unearthing worse "gates" thereafter. But it's hard to be dismissive now that my colleague Judy Miller has been taken away in shackles for refusing to name the source for a story she never wrote. No reporter went to jail during Watergate. No news organization buckled like Time. No one instigated a war on phony premises. This is worse than Watergate.He goes on to call Time a bunch of punk-ass chumps. Or words to that effect.
