Keely,
I absolutely second your questioning of Mr. Crabtree's claim that Liddy has
gone on to live a decent life. Only last week, he was continuing to spread
the bald-faced lie that Obama isn't a US citizen, and he's been right there
all along preying on fear by spreading the malicious lie that Obama is
Muslim.
The man is willing to tell outright lies to advance his own political
agenda, which is hardly what I'd call living a "decent life;' rather, on my
scale, that puts him with amoral scum and wingnuts.

Liddy's been living "a decent life"? Coaching gun owners to shoot federal
agents? Crowing about target practice with Bill and Hillary pictures?
For that matter, and on a much less serious note, answering virtually every
radio show "how are you?" with "potent and virile"? He may have served his
time, but I think that "decent life" has yet to be fulfilled in the G-man.
