Bob Woodward pimping Benghazi

[One of the 99]

This morning on MJ when everyone seemed to agree that Benghazi was purely partisan, Woodward disagreed. He held up a copy of the infamous talking points claiming that the editing was equal to Nixon editing the transcripts. After writing several fawning 'Bush at War' books which ignored that Bush lied us into war, can he credibly make this argument?

1. He must be on the Weekly Slandard's payroll now.

Sounds just like this:

2. The MJ crew completely ignored

the CNN and CBS reports that a republican staffer altered the emails before leaking them to ABC last week.

3. He is a mouthpiece for the right-wingers..

We are confused because of his role in Watergate but he was more worried about Bob Woodward at that time than he was worried about the Republican Party. I seem to recall that he actually voted for Nixon?

4. Woodward wants to be relevant again

We see it time and time again. He's history and it pisses him off.

5. He probably cranked out one of his shitty books

about it and doesn't want this to go away.

6. How sad that he is reduced to pandering to

the right. I think it's because he's burned all his bridges to reasonable people. As far as I'm concerned, he's just a cranky old man who cannot be taken seriously. A shame that he's given any platform to spew his goofy thoughts.

7. So according to Woodward

When Bush changed the NIE in the lead up to the Iraq (4K dead American soldiers) that was fine?

8. Woodward has ALWAYS been a pimp

We all liked him for a long time because he helped bring down Nixon. But he didn't do it for ideological, or even moral reasons. He did it because he's a pimp. And Watergate was/is the biggest ho around.

9. No...

Woodward no longer has any credibility.

All The President's Men was 40 years ago. Woodward has been milking that goat for a long time.
