John Dean reviews Joseph Wilson's book
The New York Times Book Review has engaged John Dean to review Joseph Wilson's book, The Politics of Truth.
I do not quite know what to think of Joe Wilson -- it is certainly difficult to figure out whether he is a dedicated patriot or a self-important publicity hound. I think he may be both, and I may even read his book. But I do know what to think of John Dean. Asking John Dean, whose most recent book is Worse Than Watergate: The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush, to review Joe Wilson's book is beyond ridiculous. John Dean's review heaps uncritical praise on Wilson, and is an unnuanced attack on the Bush Administration. What a waste of trees.
