You are very welcome Ray,

I only wrote that, in an attempt to reach the younger people <g> or for ALL the people, that just lurq ..

I KNOW they are OUT THERE with a good conscience.. So many of them in this great country of OURS that do NOT like what is happening now.. It might give them encouragement to speak their minds..

BTW.. A new group (new to me), a website of interest for people to get to together called "Meetup"

meetup.com

Where a person can find local groups to meet personally and talk about everything in your local city, town, etc..

Everything from Dean, 2004, to stuff in Sydney (a place I just love)..

Isn't the internet great??

c

That program was great, wasn't it? I want to see it again, and have my kids see it. My mother had NPR on during the whole of watergate- or so it seemed to me. They used to sing the funniest song, I'll go see if I can find it- it went "We're Haldeman Erlichman Mitchell and Dean..."

I found it:

This cleverly-written 1973 release, titled “Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean” (Mr. G Records 826), is by the CREEP, a goofy acronym for Committee to Rip-off Each and Every Politician. And here are the words you seek:

We're Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean
The way we've been treated is really obscene
To think that a bug worth hardly a shrug
Could end up by getting us tossed in the jug
We all got the gate for no reason or rhyme
You'd think we'd committed some horrible crime
Our minds may be dirty but our hands are clean
We're Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean

We're Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean
Our job was to see that the White House stayed green
We might have had flaws like bending the laws
But God only knows it was for a good cause
There's no power shortage where we were concerned
And what little profit resulted we earned
Four lovelier fellows you never have seen
Than Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean

We're Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean
Our past has been fat but the future looks lean
With backs to the wall we're taking the fall
But damnit we only robbed Pete to pay Paul
Just when we were getting to be well-to-do
The Watergate turned into our Waterloo
And now everybody is out to demean
Poor Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean

Yes we're Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean
We're perfectly willing to spill every bean
We've nothing to hide with God on our side
He knows we were only along for the ride
And so it won't come as a terrible blow
There's one little thing that we think you should know
Whatever we say isn't quite what we mean
We're Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean

Oh yes we're Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean
Things won't be the same when we're gone from the scene
But people will still recall with a thrill
Our sell-out performance on Capitol Hill

It just isn't fair to take all of the blame
When all we were doing was playing the game
Now all of Washington's caught in-between
Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell and Dean
