One reason I learned not to trust #MSNBC was how often for years they used John Dean as a regular guest anytime there was any scandal under Bush that they could dub "worse than Watergate", the man's favorite phrase.
Listening to this book about #Watergate because of the anniversary of Nixon's resignation reminds me of just what an ambitious, morally dubious, rabid ladder climber Dean was until he got caught and had a sudden "change of heart" and coasted off it the rest of his life.
