Yeah, and Obama reminds us of Nixon too, Bob.

So where are these random acts of journalism when we REALLY need them?

Everything reminds him of Nixon. When you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Imagine if Nixon had insisted that all of the tapes be stored at his residence in California and that instead of delivering the whole tapes minus the missing minutes, he turn over a printed transcript of the sections he considered relevant.

Obama and Clinton met this weekend. I am sure a deal was reached.

Clinton to Obama, “Call off the FBI and bury this whole thing. When Hillary becomes POTUS, Ruth “Buzzy” Ginsberg will retire. You President Obama will become a Supreme Court Justice.

From the synopsis on Amazon.com

Drawing on hundreds of interviews with colleagues, friends and with unique access to campaign records, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Carl Bernstein offers a complex and nuanced portrait of one of the most controversial figures of our time: Hillary Clinton. He has given us a book that enables us, at last, to address the questions Americans are insistently—even obsessively—asking: What is her character? What is her political philosophy? Who is she? What can we expect from her?

Sounds like ol' Carl had exclusive access to Hillary's campaign records. Maybe he has exclusive access to her emails.

Bob Woodward was the editor of the Washington Post Metro Page when post writer Janet Cooke ran a series of articles about “Jimmy,” a ten year old heroin addict in Washington, DC.

Woodward was told numerous times that there was something fishy about the “Jimmy” articles, but he kept printing them.

Janet Cooke won the Pulizer prize for the Jimmy series.

Then it came out that there was no Jimmy, that it was all fiction.

Janet Cooke lost her Pulitzer Prize and was disgraced and never worked in the media again. The last time she was heard of she was working behind the counter at a department satore.

MEANWHILE, her editor Bob Woodward escaped without a scratch.

The Jimmy Scandal was a blot on journalism.

The Washington Post had its own ombudsman “investigate” its Jimmy disgrace.

The ombudsman (whose salary was paid by the Post) concluded his laughable “investigation” with the comment that, “The Post is a terrific organization.”

Notice that Woodward was Teflon while Janet Cooke was expendable.

"Nixon is a boy scout compared to Hillary."

"Clinton lied, Americans died!"

His extreme luck on stumbling into Watergate has given this man riches and fame far beyond his due.

It is all a creation of liberal media, much like the qualifications and history of Obama.

well to be fair the book was published several years ago...but there’s still a chance he has a tad more “left over” information
