Carl Bernstein Naming and Shaming Republicans That Hate Trump

[Hortensis]

31. Yup. The same. Not to compare him to that slough

to his right, and my exasperation with his attention seeking comments is showing, but he's overvalued.

The hack was a reference to his -- and Woodward's -- constant, egregious comparisons of Hillary and her emails to Nixon and Watergate back in 2015-16, earning them as many book-puffing appearances on cable political TV shows as they each cared to show up for. A lot.

"Mother Jones: Bernstein is not the only person bringing up Watergate to describe Clinton. His partner-in-exposing-crime, Bob Woodward, is also fond of comparing Clinton to Nixon. Woodward, who appears often on Fox News shows to discuss Clinton’s recent travails—her appearance before the House Select Committee on Benghazi, controversial donations to the Clinton Foundation, the investigation into her use of a private email server as secretary of state, and her refusal to release transcripts of her Wall Street speeches—has on multiple occasions given into the temptation to talk about Watergate."

Temptation, hell. And "multiple occasions" was generally daily. MSNBC and CNN were trying to defeat HRC+her coattail-riders and keep Republicans in control, and both, Woodward especially -- who had a new book out, were able to boost both book sales and their own names by telling new generations what Watergate was and smearing it on Hillary.
