Woodward and Bernstein share first Washington Post byline in 36 years

Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, arguably the two most famous newspaper reporters in American history, did something on Sunday they haven't done in 36 years: They shared a byline in the Washington Post.

Woodward and Bernstein, who are on a mini-publicity tour surrounding the 40th anniversary of the Watergate break-ins, published a joint opinion essay for the Post's Outlook section about what they've learned since first reporting on the scandal: President Richard Nixon, who was forced to resign in the wake of Watergate, was "far worse than we thought."

You're kidding me, right? With all the obvious corruption going on right now in the Kenyan Administration, they are still obsessed with Nixon?!?

Pathetic excuse for "journalism."

Nixon was a patriot at least, despite his flaws. Obama is a narcissist who only care about himself.

Those A-Holes have been living on Watergate for 40 years.

Anytime something happens, out they come to assure everyone that whatever the event is, it is nothing compared to Watergate.

Like many leftists, they can’t accept their 15 minutes are over.

They're just trying to recapture the glory days... and boost sales of whatever they're selling these days.

The Compost obviously got a memo from the Osama Obama Victory Headquarters.Are they on the brink of bankruptcy as is the NY Times and the Boston Globe (among others)?

Sheesh! This is written like a bad romance novel. Their desperation is hilarious!

P.S. "I told ya so." ;-)
Long-sealed Watergate documents may be released

Which is WHY they’re bringing it up! It’s a distraction and to take the focus away from the Obama administration. Obama and Co. make Nixon look like a choir boy!!! They know damned well!

Nixon is the most hated of all republicans because he was among the first to expose the marxists and their agenda.

Yes he was a little paranoid but I believe he was documenting for history the domestic enemies that were burrowing into the government, institutions of higher learning, and the news media.

Need to shuffle “Woody and Stein” up to the Corrupt Ones administration for a tour. They might want to bring along some real journalists (not the MSM Pimps and Prostitutes).

he is heard talking almost endlessly about what would be good for him, his place in history

Does anybody really think that Nixon would have been the only President to have talked about such things, instead of the only one to have made recordings?

In the media any accusation of false statement or unsourced comments that turn out to be wrong just fall by the wayside. They all know it, they all know they can get away with almost any sensationalized story and that's why they do it.

I still believe that Woodward took a gamble, or had a hunch that paid off for him and there never really was a "deep Throat" no matter what they say about someone who is dead and never spoke out while he was alive.

So now we’re going to have Watergate Week, as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Watergate.

So the MSM can run with this, remind us all that Nixon was a Republican, Romney’s a Republican, hmmmmmm...............

And, any talk of scandal within the Obama administration will be deflected, as we revisit Watergate. Any comparisons to be made will show that Watergate, committed by that evil Republican, Nixon, was far worse than anything which may have happened during the administration of Obama.

So, we had gay marriage week. Now we’re going to have Watergate week. I wonder what’s next????

The book, Silent Coup explains that John Dean set up the break in. He figured there was a prostitution ring that the Democrats were using back then. That little weasel got away with it, too :(

Not working, Obama.

You can’t use Nixon.

Try something else.
