Why is everyone here so upset over Bob Woodward? All he ever was

[Thtwudbeme]

was a reporter for the Post, who happened to be in the right place at the right time 35 years ago or so--and co-investigated and reported a story that he was HANDED.

So what? He's a Republican now; but for some reason, we made him a diety in this country, and he is on talk shows as if he is some sort of expert on the political process.

He's a hack with a bachelor's degree that was trying to make a living during the Watergate break-in mess. That's all. He jumped on a big assed story because he was young and wanted to be famous.

2. He was Naval inteilligence.

The Judy Miller of our time.

3. So what? My cousin just married a naval intelligence guy. He's 20 years

old.

Big fucking shit.

He was freaking HANDED a story...and ran with it. He wanted to be a famous reporter.

Note: how many OTHER stories can you possibly think of that he "broke?"

If you can come up with ONE you are doing better than me.

4. I think he was working for the CIA during the Nixon years

and they wanted tricky gone and woodward was assigned to grease the skids under him but with chimpy in office all the old CIA people that worked with Poopy bush are keeping quiet out of loyalty (or fear) to poopy.
