Woodward Describes Dinner With Gore As Unpleasant-Cuz-Gore Asked Him WHY He Didn't Go After Bush?

Bob Woodward Describes Dinner With Al Gore As Unpleasant

He also told an unflattering, but amusing story about sitting next to former Vice President Al Gore at a dinner, saying being with him was “taxing,” and added, “To be really honest, it’s unpleasant.”

Woodward said Gore pressed him on why the journalist didn’t go after Bush, who beat Gore in the 2000 presidential election, over the war in Iraq.

Gore was a former reporter before becoming a politician, and “he thinks he invented (reporting) also,” Woodward joked in reference to an often misquoted statement that the ex-vice president claimed he invented the Internet.

Thankfully Carl Bernstein is still around and doing good work.

Uggh, Woodward is contemptible.

He has become a RW shill. It is so unflattering of him to insult the former VP. Such disrespect.
