I've concluded that Bob Woodward has become pretty creepy. I was, of course, pleased that he helped to bring down Mr. Tricky, although Nixon and his crowd are beginning to look pretty good when placed alongside the awful bunch now running Washington--viz, some of the great environmental laws on the books can be traced to his time in office. But what has Mr. Run Amok done for us lately: a couple of fawning tomes on Dubya and yet another crass moneymaker wrung out of the Watergate "bloody shirt." And now he's engaged in whitewashing the Rove/Libby/Cheney cabal's sliming of Joe Wilson and wife. All this presumably to avoid getting in the way of his access inside sources for whatever book he's currently writing. I knew ye (via your honest reporting days) when you were still a nice young man, but now it's good bye Bob
