Under the Bigtop

Come on in and see John Dean. Career political criminal turned hero. Part-time lawyering clown and full-time elite lackey salesman.

Step right up folks and see the spectacle. Step right up – no cons, no dirty girlie show, no shell games. Just Dean the Forceful Conservative on censuring Bush – step right up, get your tickets. See the world's oldest Watergate felon.

He sings. He nods. He'll distract you.

Dean (Nixon henchman) was sentenced to four months in prison for his role in the Watergate scandal; he spent the four months under a "witness protection" program.

Step right up. Show your little woman how Republicans are so honest they censure – even impeach – themselves. (Remember that in November.)

Step right up – see how the ruling elite call in their political markers. Dean the Felon who never really did time, still able to coverup messes for TPTB. He writes, he speaks, he'll amaze you with an air of serious censure b.s.

Step right up as old crooks and liars are pulled out of thin air and silk hats to poke fingers at the new crooks and liars.

JD, witness to the panel on the hill on censure: "I appear today because I believe, with good reason, that the situation is even more serious." Dean, whose testimony three decades ago helped lead to Nixon's resignation in 1974, said in support of the seldom-used measure to discredit a president."

Good gawd almighty – we need a "seldom-used measure" to discredit George W. Bush? He does that every time he opens his own mouth.

"The panel must decide, however, whether to send it [censure resolution] to the full Senate where it seems certain to be defeated."

Step right up. Watch Dean dance the dance of IOU powerful people. Buy your ticket and sit down on the very first row to watch a pointless show that seems certain to be defeated. Step right up.

"Dean is also the author of a book titled "Worse than Watergate," [about politics and secrecy] which slams the Bush administration as obsessed with politics and secrecy." Come on Dean, stop the secrecy – tell us what Watergate was really about, not the burglary cover-up stuff.

Step right up as John Dean facinates, manipulates, pontificates, and fornicates - in his own words : "I assume it is stipulated that no one disagrees with the Administration’s desire to deal aggressively with terrorism."

The puerile absurdity of the political show has reached laughable … if you don't think about the millions buying tickets to the show, or that Dean used the word "assume."
