If nothing else, Woodward and Bernsteen taught us, "IT'S NOT THE CRIME, IT'S THE COVER UP!"

Turn down the volume, willya?

The Watergate comparison simply doesn't hold up. Downie is not an elected official, for one thing. For another, no crime was committed. A Washington Post editor can have a thousand drag queen lap-dancing moments--and even attempt to squelch dissemination of photos taken while engaged in such flamboyant, outrageous behavior--with no legal charges pending and no effect on the body politic.

Again: no crime, no cover-up, no conflict, no story. You're simply not going to get traction from this.

One more thing: Carl 'Bernstein', not 'Bernsteen'. If you're going to try your hand at journalism, at least get the names right.
