What is wrong with Bob Woodward?
Above everyone else - media related - he should understand the depths of the potential criminality of the * administration.

He was an embarrassment on Larry King last night. Claimed he did not understand how the outting of Plame had anything to do with the Iraq war! At least David Gergen made an attempt to enlighten him.

Oh, Bob, how far you have fallen!

From "All The President's Men" to major * suck-up!

1. I'm starting to think he's lost his mind
But Larry King said Woodward was doing a book on Bush's second term and I figure he doesn't get all that access by going against Bush and his minions.

4. But you'd think he must have some regrets about his 1st book.

2. There's none so blind as
those who will not see.

3. Poor Bob, just an old dog who is really a tired old story that is
getting shoved further down the memories of our miinds. Now Fitz is the top dog with the top story and Bobby's only reaction is to trivilize it. Its not important, nothing to it, not even close to a criminal act like he discovered. Screw him, he's lost it evidently.

5. Just because his reporting took down a Republican President

doesn't mean he was a Democrat, or a liberal.

He was an ambitious journalist with relatively little to lose and potentially a lot to gain and so he went for it and struck gold with Watergate.

By starting at the top like that he created a career monster that could only be duplicated by great luck (not forthcoming) or great access. And that latter came at a cost.

6. He's become one of the pigs at the dinner table ...
See also, Orwell v. Animal Farm.

7. He's a fascist. Yes, it's time to use the "word".
