Howard Dean: Bush administration "more corrupt" than Nixon's _____________________________________________________ By Steve LeBlanc Associated Press Writer February 10, 2006 BOSTON --Howard Dean raised the specter of Richard Nixon Friday, calling the Bush White House "more corrupt" than Nixon's with even more dire consequences for the nation. "When Richard Nixon mislead the nation and obstructed justice he was harming the system of justice and the respect for the presidency," the Democratic National Committee chairman said. "But this administration has done more than that. They have leaked military secrets in a time of war in order to fulfill their political agenda." Dean said Bush was "not truthful" about the extent of his knowledge about the levee damage in New Orleans in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. He also said Bush had much closer ties with fallen lobbyist Jack Abramoff than he has acknowledged and ignored intelligence warnings in the months leading up to the 2003 invasion into Iraq. "This is not about a third rate burglary of the Watergate. This is about undermining the security of America and it is about misleading the American people," Dean said in remarks to the New England Press Association. Republican National Committee spokesman Danny Diaz, said Dean's comments show the Democrats have run out of ideas. "While this administration is focused on a positive agenda, Howard Dean's party lacks ideas and any direction," Diaz said. Nixon resigned in August 1974, facing almost-certain impeachment for helping to cover up the break-in at the offices of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate office building in Washington.
