Like a garbage strike, the trash keeps piling up.

It was only a blip in yesterday's print edition Post, which makes you wonder, but it appears in an expanded version on the web. And yes I'm late to the game, as several others have snapped at this one. Apparently yet another dirty trick can be traced back to the Bush White House: the phone jamming scandal in New Hampshire's 2002 elections. During the Nixon regime, Watergate was simply the most egregious of the dirty tricks Nixon's cohorts employed to ensure a second term. The aptly named CREEP (committee to re-elect the President) used similar disinformation and annoyance tactics to confuse and derail their political opponents.

The Bush regime has proven themselves to be apt pupils of the Nixon machine, and let's hope Mr. Bush follows Mr. Nixon into the ignominy of forced resignation before the damage to this Republic becomes even worse.
