A Thought
My friend Rutger just mentioned that maybe George Conway is the new Martha Mitchell.
My mouth fell open. I think he’s right.
I have become a fan of podcasts. I listened to Slow Burn from Slate and it’s well worth your time. Season 1, Episode 1 of Slow Burn is entitled Martha. I had largely forgotten about Martha Mitchell until I heard it and then suddenly, I saw that Nixon’s attempt to paint Martha as a crazy alcoholic was because she was right. Well, that and the fact that she was a crazy alcoholic. But even alcoholics can tell the truth.
Slow Burn is well worth your time, and you’ll look at George Conway a whole different way if you remember Martha Mitchell.
