Woodward Had Recently Denied He Had Bombshell and Downplayed Plame Probe
http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001480714

<snip>
ISIKOFF: No, look, this is the biggest mystery in Washington, has been really for two years and now as we come down to the deadline of tomorrow the city is awash with rumors. There's a new one every 15 minutes and nobody really knows what's going to happen tomorrow. Nobody knows what Fitzgerald's got.

I talked to a source at the White House late this afternoon who told me that Bob is going to have a bombshell in tomorrow's paper identifying the Mr. X source who is behind the whole thing. So, I don't know, maybe this is Bob's opportunity.

KING: Come clean.

WOODWARD: I wish I did have a bombshell. I don't even have a firecracker. I'm sorry. In fact, I mean this tells you something about the atmosphere here. I got a call from somebody in the CIA saying he got a call from the best New York Timesreporter on this saying exactly that I supposedly had a bombshell....

1. he's drunk the kool-aid that outing plame was nothing of consequence
so the fact that he knew earlier is no bombshell or even a firecracker to him. the entire story is a non-story according to him

6. OMG! I saw Larry King that night, and forgot that part!

That rumor was rampant, that he had something. He decided to lie! I just remember the looks of wonderment on the other panelists' faces as Woodward completely dismissed the importance of Plame.

On edit: This is HUGH!!!11!!11!

8. CYA
he knew he was involved all along, that's why he pretended there was no underlying crime.

Is there any end to the damage these KADers can do without a thought to the consequences?
