Woodward gets Punk'd

Bob Woodward was and is being used...and he doesn't even realize it.

The RW has never gotten over Watergate. NEVER! As evidence of this, review the RW talking heads vilify Deep Throat after his identity was revealed. Bob Woodward, partly because of ego and partly because he felt he was going to use them was played like a grand piano by the masters.


His personal role in the CIA leak goes from being told confidential info by this administration in the HOPES that he would publish it.

He then repeatedly badmouthed Fitzgerald and the entire investigation in order to save his own butt and protect his sources.

Now, the big kahuna of these sources has given him permission to reveal the timeline and content of their conversation but not their name. By doing this, it confuses the public, gets the MSM squawking about how Fitzgerald said Libby was the first to reveal the name thus casting a negative on the entire investigation but, ultimately, it damages Bob Woodward.

By keeping Woodward close, they've given him the ultimate payback.

Dude, you've just been punk'd.

Fitz said Libby was the first KNOWN TO HAVE revealed Plame's name.

Besides, that doesn't make any difference anyway.

What Fitzgerald says at a press conference and what is actually listed as crimes in the indictment are two different things.

But Woodward was too blinded by his own sense of self importance to realize he was being used and now his name/reputation will forever suffer from this incident.

he talked about Plamegate on TV before this revelation. What a sap. He's such a Bush suck-up, it's pathetic.

what a shame.

"By keeping Woodward close, they've given him the ultimate payback."

Keep your friends close, and your enemies EVEN CLOSER!

How arrogantly stupid of Woodward especially when he knew Clinton's impeachment was payback for Nixxon. It's not like they soon forget. But he still chose to get in bed with these vipers. He should never have turned his back on them.

... at Woodward. Well, maybe "bushes" was the wrong word to use there.

literally.

Woodward's been used as early as Watergate. Without Deep Throat Felt, where would his investigative reporting have gone? He was led and used at the time. Remember it was the Repubs who got rid of Nixon.

At any rate, it's all a diversion as far as Libby's defense goes. Libby isn't being charged with leaking, whether first or last. He's charged with lying and obstruction of justice. And the evidence against him really isn't based on reporters' testimony, it's primarily based on his own contradictory testimony and the testimony of his fellow Administration cronies as well as contemporaneous logs and notes. So the issue is still Libby's veracity and credibility, not that of reporters and not who leaked first.

:rofl:

I'm not saying Woodward was an innocent victim, but I think he thought he was capable of running with the wolves. Many in this administration can be traced directly to the Nixon WH and I think they played him big time...he's just too arrogant to realize it.

His reputation and career will be destroyed by this...the ultimate payback.
