[DougieZero]

curious...

[LittleApple81]

1. he acts like one. I am not sure. He also looks like Kristol

when he is on TV, so that might influence my opinion....

[robbedvoter]

2. Yes. Bush shill too.

[DrBB]

3. Yup, he is.

Just read it recently. Not something he's publicly disclosed or anything, but it was authoritative. A piece about SCLM. He was cited as an example of righteous reporting in the old days, because he told the truth about Nixon despite his party leanings. I'd never heard this about him before, and it helped to make sense of a lot of his more recent reporting and LACK of skepticism toward Bush. The old days vs. the new days, as it were.

Can't remember the damn site I read it on....

15. Speaking of Bernstein

Today, the United States is confronted by another ill-considered war, conceived in ideological zeal and pursued with contempt for truth, disregard of history and an arrogant assertion of American power that has stunned and alienated much of the world, including traditional allies. At a juncture in history when the United States needed a president to intelligently and forcefully lead a real international campaign against terrorism and its causes, Bush decided instead to unilaterally declare war on a totalitarian state that never represented a terrorist threat; to claim exemption from international law regarding the treatment of prisoners; to suspend constitutional guarantees even to non-combatants at home and abroad; and to ignore sound military advice from the only member of his Cabinet — Powell — with the most requisite experience. Instead of using America's moral authority to lead a great global cause, Bush squandered it.

In Republican cloakrooms, as in the Oval Office, response to catastrophe these days is more concerned with politics and PR than principle. Said Tom DeLay, House majority leader: "A full-fledged congressional investigation — that's like saying we need an investigation every time there's police brutality on the street."

14. This article said he is

I was more confused than usual on the subject. I thought he grew up in a communist family, but that war Bernstein. It says Woodward was a Republican from a Republican family.

They must have been quite a pair.
