Watergate-era hero reporter on plamegate story? He can put it down.

On October 27, Woodward appeared on CNN's Larry King Live and pronounced that the current Plamegate scandal in the White House was really much ado about nothing.


Also, the indicted Libby has reportedly been a source for Woodward in the past. Critics in the press have suggested that Woodward is too close to some of his sources to provide readers with an undiluted picture of their activities.

His remarks about the Fitzgerald investigation convey the attitude of a sometime insider reluctant to offend—and that is hardly a definition of what a serious, independent reporter is supposed to be. It's a far piece from Watergate.

1. Woodward has been this way for a while, but magnified recently. I can't
believe he is involved in all this mess. What a complete turn-a-round.

At least Bernstein is still with the cause.
