A nice little history lesson. I remember "knowing" Martha Mitchell was whacky - ie: I was being told she was whacky every day.
This is the first of a series - Slow Burn, a podcast about Watergate
First, never underestimate the power of denial on the part of a voter who just can't accept the evidence that he got played, and voted for a bad guy.
In a letter-to-the-editor in 1973, my grandpa wrote this:
..."Just before the election five or six boys thought it would be fun to bug the Democratic headquarters in the plush Watergate hotel and got caught. With the gleeful help of the biased news media, a few senators are again trying to wreck the American government and slap the American people in the face for their choice of the best man we have had in the White House for a generation - a man who can talk to the Communists and have their respect. But the news media is still using the same underhanded, childish, dirty methods of unfounded rumors, ;ies and half-truths - going so far as to attack the President, his family and friends."...
Second, sometimes when it looks like somebody's going crazy - it's really just their attempt to get un-crazy.
