The voice emanating from a Northern Virginia radio studio is deep and strident, as the man it belongs to again calls John Dean “a serial mass perjurer.”
G. Gordon Liddy, 20 years after the famous Watergate break-in that eventually led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon, is now a talk show host. It was Mr. Liddy who masterminded the failed burglary, and who went to prison for five years rather than testify before a Senate committee or courts about it.
Mr. Liddy, who is being sued for millions by Mr. Dean and his wife in a slander suit, has gained popularity by portraying himself as the ultimate outsider, someone who views the entire Washington establishment as corrupt and urges a cleansing of the political system.
Even so, he has not yet jumped on the Ross Perot bandwagon because he isn’t sure what the Texas billionaire stands for. As a conservative in a state that usually votes conservatively, Mr. Liddy is not alone in that regard.
Though one recent poll showed Mr. Perot with a narrow lead over President Bush in Virginia, my impression from talking with people, even those who have signed petitions to put Mr. Perot on the ballot, is that they have no real idea of what he would do if elected President. They are for him mainly because they perceive him as someone who has been outside the political process — a perception which is apparently far from accurate.
