THEY CAN DISH IT OUT BUT THEY CAN'T TAKE IT

The NY Daily News "Daily Dish" tells of Clarence Thomas rushing to Dubya's sister Doro to tell her "We have to pray for your brother. He's in real trouble."

Duh. So are we all, thanks to his leadership.

Another interesting item is George H.W. Bush's hatred for former Nixon counsel John Dean, whose book Worse Than Watergate and columns he has written for Findlaw have been sharply critical of Dubya.

According to her account, Bush 41 still hates John Dean, Richard Nixon's fired White House counsel who testified in the Watergate scandal and decades later became a severe critic of Bush 43.

"John Dean always struck me as an arrogant little creep," Koch quotes her father as telling her. "Perhaps some of this visceral anti-Dean feeling I have is because of the way he has attacked your brother."


Both George Bushes have used political slurs to damage their campaign opponents , yet no-one has suggested that Mike Dukakis, John McCain, or John Kerry "hate" the architects of their defeats. Dean, on the other hand, as a legal scholar has criticized George W. for his legal maneuvering, not made personal attacks, and yet Poppy "hates" him.
