Woodward's book is little more than unsubstantiated innuendo by a leftist journalist whos previous national best seller led to Nixon's resignation. Woodward pulled the same stunt in that book, relying an a (still) unidentified source (Deep Throat) for the bulk of his "information. In this current book, Woodward identifies only 1 source out of the 75 he claims to have identified.

IMO, this book, like Richard Clarke's, lack credibility and doesn't deserve the leftist press fawning over it as they have done. IOW, there is no "here" here.

My bad.

whos = whose

Beltway media rumors are floating around now that Bob Woodward's "un-named sources" and claims that certain high WH persons and staff said certain things are going to blow up in Woodward's face and cast more new doubt on the Watergate "reporting methods" and book and movie that followed.

Bob Woodward will keep embellishing his tales "GW physically grabbed Rumsfield by the collar" and such infantile blather to Mike Wallace and King and others until he is way over his head attempting to pump up his new book sales until it all gets dumped on him and his writing and WP career will be in the dumper and he, Bernstein, and the WP will be shown up to be biased lying political hacks.

Another notable was his conversation with Mike Wallace about GW not being "an intellectual" (GW was known at college as "Data Boy" for his memory and recall.) or "an elite".

I don't see Bob Woodward or Mike Wallace on the MENSA membership list, just like Slick, Hillary, and Kerry are also missing.....

The lib DC/NYC attitude really turns off the "hick flyover" Americans.

Well, thanks to a few people at Gannett, that is a little something to watch.

There are more than a few journalists that are fed up with the Woodward style of print reporting with no footnotes used in priming and creating and pumping and selling fiction novels and waiting for Bob to fall from grace.

By the bye, Woodward's increasingly hesitant mental and vocal style beats much similiarity to one with medical problem such as stroke and diminished mental capacity; the theatrical flourishes can be done by any Bowery wino or druggie.

Bad habits take their terrible toll eventually.

The neurons just ain't gettin' it anymore.

It's check out time for Bob Woodward.

Nixon's revenge.



The bio on Bob will be a killer.

Obviously you weren't of age during the Watergate years. Your other assertions aside, Woodward and Bernstein wrote articles in the Washington post almost daily, but there was no book until later. The revelations leading to the resignation were newspaper articles.
