I'm not ignorant

“I had my money on former Nixon speechwriter Ben Stein, largely because I am ignorant and he’s been on TV.”

I didn’t think it was ignorant to have guessed Ben Stein years ago. He was the childhood friend of Bernstein. He was Nixon’s speechwriter. He is more dedicated to the office of the president, than any given president.

I could imagine him sitting there, alone in his office, knowing about the evil tricks of Nixon and fretting: “Oh how can I find a way to assuage my dislike of bad government with my dedication to the party?”

So he calls the one person that he knows he can trust to keep a secret. His childhood friend Bernstein who is now a reporter for a major magazine. “Hello old friend. I need to talk with someone and you are the only person I can trust to keep it a secret.”

They meet and the rest is history.

Well, it *could* have happened that way. Darn Felt!
