It is really funny in a tragic sort of funny.

There was no GRAND principle.

There was no noble cause.

There was no effort to "seek justice", this was just a whinny vendetta from a petty bureaucrat.

This was not writing talent, this was stupid luck for those two reporters.

This is not to be admired, this only deserves ridicule because a major scandal has been exposed to have been caused by nothing more than a little man's hissy fit.

Although I virtually never agree with John Dean, he was on with Keith Olbermann last night, saying that Woodward and Bernstein have some explaining to do.

That's right. And the wonderful thing is, W&B will lose control of the roll out of the story and its context. People will draw their own conclusions on Felt's motivation while W&B will be spinning this for the rest of their lives.
