Rush said it on his show on Friday.

(I'll paraphrase it)

Woodward's audience among the Washington D.C. liberal elites has been mad at him over statements he made, and statements he with-held in the Plamegate affair.

His current tome is an attempt to get back in their good graces. It simply exposes him as the hack that many of us always knew him to be.

"It simply exposes him as the hack that many of us always knew him to be."

His books are demonstrations of deposits and withdrawls in the DC Favor Bank.

Truly disreputable stuff. Fictional Reporting (tm), e.g.:

"Tenent sat in the comfortable reclining chair in the den of his Great Falls home, gazing across the neatly cut lawn for which he'd given the undocumented immigrant landscaper a $10 tip yesterday. Despite his many years of CIA service and his cherished Freedom medal, he worried about his place in history. So he thought back to Woodward's offer of many years ago, that if he could be a secret source on some intelligence matters, that Woodward would let him write his own dialog and feelings and internal dialog for one of Woodward's books, if the need ever arose. 'That Woodward really knows how to play the Washington reporting game, however fictional his books might be.'"
