Published at the Politico site, this obsequious report (the writers also backed Woodward's view on Obama as bad guy in the sequester debate) drew wide mockery on the Web last night, even from some on the right. The "threat" appeared no different from someone simply warning another that they might be embarrassed if they continue with their current line of action or thinking. This was it in its entirety: "I think you will regret staking out that claim.”

Dan Froomkin calls the whole affair in a tweet: "Bob Woodward's Mad Hatter tea party with Allen and Vandehei:...All of them puffed up and delusional." A writer at Atlantic Wire observed: "We hope Woodward never gets an email in ALL CAPS." Even the Daily Caller admits they got played by Woodward.

As for Woodward charging that Obama was becoming Nixonian. I guess except for ordering multiple break-ins, paying hush money, suggesting that a think-tank's office get firebombed, destroying evidence and more.

Meanwhile, we are waiting for Bob to call a press conference and declare either 1) "I am not a kook" or 2) "You won't have Woodward to kick around anymore" or maybe 3) "Follow the dummy." (Should he be known henceforth as Bwah Woodward?) Or, a la The Godfather, he's petrified that he will wake up tomorrow and find in his bed a horse's...ass.
