(2004-04-17) -- A new book about Bob Woodward's new book, Plan of Attack, reveals that President George Bush did not tell some top aides what he had told Bob Woodward in an interview in which he revealed that he didn't tell some top aides about the early stages of planning for a war in Iraq.

The newer of the two books, The Making of Bob Woodward's Plan of Attack, will be released next week, one day after Plan of Attack appears in bookstores. The book reveals that the source of "shocking" quotes which Woodward's book attributes to President Bush, may actually be President Bush himself, who sat down for an interview with Mr. Woodward.

"It's amazing how cold-blooded and secretive Bush is," said the unnamed author of The Making Bob Woodward's Plan of Attack, "First he kept his war plans secret, and then he kept the details of his interview with Bob Woodward secret. This book demonstrates that Bob Woodward is the only man in Bush's circle of friends with whom he can share his deepest secrets."

One chapter in The Making of Bob Woodward's Plan of Attack reveals speculation that the reporter who helped break the Watergate break-in story in the early 1970s may also be the anonymous source, known as 'Deep Throat', who provided much of the information for his Watergate stories in The Washington Post.

"Deep Throat had to be Woodward," said the unnamed author, "Who else has such access to the hearts and minds of our nation's leaders. For more than 30 years, the most powerful people in Washington have trusted Bob Woodward with things they wouldn't tell their own spouses."

Halfwit tries to make it sound like a bad thing.

ha ha ha! very funny!

I'll wait for the Behind The Music, Making of Bob Woodward's Plan of Attack.

The book is clearly Woodward's plan of attack.

I think Woodward was secretly planning this book when he wrote his first book about Bush. I imagine his first book would have been better if he hadn't been obsessed with writing this second book. After all, no human can think of two books at once.

"If we want to hold on to the presidency we have got to get next to Bob Woodward!"

"Deep Throat had to be Woodward"

I thought it was Clarke

Bob Woodward: A pathological, serial, imaginary, DeepThroat contriver.

My lying eyes have seen enough books.

Not much of a secret, if a person writes a book about it!

Did Woodward pinkie swear?

The problem with this "blockbuster" is the 9-11 commission. Everyone that is interested has already heard the facts, Not woodhead's version. When he did his Bill Casey channelling (Casey was in a coma) everthing he writes is fiction as far as I'm concerned.

Buchanan is deepthroat.

[elhombrelibre]

I'll never forget the Casey sham either. Casey's family was there the whole time and said Woodward wasn't there, yet the media still treats Woodhead like a truthful writer. In a period where journalism was about the truth he'd be sunk, but today he plays all angles for profit and fame.

This book demonstrates that Bob Woodward is the only man in Bush's circle of friends with whom he can share his deepest secrets."

If Bob "Wayward" Woodward is Bush's friend & confident, then Bush is as dumb as the liberals would like the world to believe. I'm confident that Bush was smart enough, and probably advised as well, to be very careful about what he was going to say to Woodward.

[BluH2o]

Buchanan is deepthroat.

Naaah ... "deep throat" was a composite of several people, perhaps three or four, fabricated by "Wayward" Woodward & Bernstein to give their book a more sinister tone.

Speaking of vertical smiles, smile at this parody.

[MinuteGal]

Very well done post, Pookie18.

Even though it's a parody, it's quite thought-provoking on deep things other than Deep Throat.
