Republicans and the Watergate...
You would have thought they would have learned to conduct business outside of the place. Considering what happened 34 years ago!!

Morans!

1. Want to know more about Republicans
and the Watergate (which is not only a hotel, but also a coop residence)?

Google the name "Gus Weiss," and keep in mind that

1. he was a friend of mine for more than thirty years;
2. he worked for Kissinger in Nixon's White House;
3. he was getting ready to speak out against the invasion of Iraq.

See what you find about Gus Weiss, and then consider Republicans and the Watergate in DC. (There's one in Virginia, too.)

2. JMJ!!
Oh man... First off, I'm so sorry that you lost a friend like this, OldLeftyLawyer. Secondly, Mr. Weiss sounds like a good man, a very smart, decent man who was intent on helping our country...

I can only imagine that he was trying to protect our country yet again when these bastards killed him... :(

3. He was wonderful
I loved him a lot.

He loved life, and no one will ever convince me that he wasn't murdered.

4. I hope that someday justice is done...
For your friend, for you, and for all of us... :(

The souls of the dead still cry out for justice. I hope that people like Fitzgerald and the good ones like Conyers can bring some relief to this stream of evil...

6. Ironic, eh?

How fitting that a huge Republican scandal would somehow contain the name of a hotel named after the biggest Republican scandal in history ......makes me wonder what strange forces are at work here. Forces with a sense of humor. ;-)
