Liz,

The MSM's arms are pretty sore from patting themselves on the back (again) for Watergate this week.

I sense, however, that the public is not as enthused with the Felt family as they are. There were polls on sites (including AOL, ABC, and CBS) that showed large percentages (as high as 48%) thought Felt was a "villain or traitor." Pretty strong stuff.

The Felt family has been so ham fisted in their approach to asking for "money that we deserve" it is mind boggling.

Bob Woodward was on TV and he was cringing when he was asked about the family's shameless demands for dollars. You could see the "journalistic pride" wash right out of his power tie.

Thanks for the input, Sky. My fave line of yours----"Woodward ....was cringing when he was asked about the family's shameless demands for dollars. You could see the "journalistic pride" wash right out of his power tie."

LOL.....good one.

I saw a clip of the media's stakeout of Bob-o when the story broke---of course the effete journo has always had a seemingly au natural self-effacing facade---but this time he looked downright sheepish when confronted with the Felts' crass attempts to cash-in.

"Journalistic pride", lol. Now there's a term.

Almost as good as "journalistic integrity".
