PING!
Sad. Woodward turned into a one trick pony. His salad days are waaaaaaaayyyyyyy behind him.
I liked him. I BELIEVED HIM. But, as an adult, I came to the point where I had to say "There is just too much evidence he had a hand in the coverup." And the GOP reached a point where they took the long walk up the Mall to the White House and told Nixon he had done enough damage to the country, and it was time to go.
And right THERE is the difference. Democrats stood by their corrupt leaders and never blinked. Obama? They sat on their hands. Serial rapist, semen-stained dress, lying to a Grand Jury Bill Clinton? NOT A SINGLE DEM SENATOR even walked over to the Ford building to see the EVIDENCE before they voted against impeachment.
Ask me why I am a Republican? Part of it is right there.
IN the early 1900's, there were the muckrakers. Upton Sinclair, Lincoln Steffens and the lot... Journalists that reacted with horror at government corruption, horrible manufacturing crimes, the "Trusts"; they EXPOSED everything, on both parties. Bob... you and the rest of the press look at three years of corruption and ignore it until the lies become SO GLARING that you have to hem and haw and try to save yourselves with the smallest of meek complaints.
