Krusty the Klown On The Op-Ed Page

Geez. Bill Safire is at it again with his lame Nixon-in-purgatory schtick. If this stale gag was even remotely tied to reality, Tricky Dick would have gotten off two slurs against Joe Lieberman and three against Al Sharpton before Safliar finished the first question. The real Dick would have nothing good to say about John Kerry, who he tried to smear for because of his opposition to the Vietnam War.

Instead of writing fantasies, Bill, why don't you try a column on how your White House pals tried to slander Kerry?

P.S. The link mentions how, in 1971, the Nixon White House "planted tough questions" to be asked of Kerry on Meet the Press. Pumpkinhead can hold a 35th anniversary celebration for that continuing tactic during Kerry's second year in office.
