Woodward has had his head up BushCo's ass for so long
he's lost any kind of credibility as a reporter or author. The best thing that can come out of this is that NO ONE will EVER buy a Bob Woodward book again.

1. From hero in the 70's to goat of the new century.

4. You said that right....
We all knew that he was sidling up to BushCo to gain access--so he would write books.

As smarmy as that is--it is understandable that a journalist and author may find himself friendly with sources--because he wants access. I'm not saying it's moral--but it does happen.

However--to discover that Woodward kept critical information from Fitzgerald and the American people--in order to cover for these criminals--is so revolting.

I hate to sound like such a Pollyanna, but I'm really pissed off at Woodward.

The idea of a "Woodward"--someone who is digging for the truth and exposing corruption--is uplifting.

"Woodward" is dead. I don't know if "Woodward" ever even existed.

I guess what we saw on "All the President's Men" was a Hollywood fabrication.
