1. Bob Woodward is an ass. I can't stand him now!

Don't care for Judy Miller either.

2. Woodward, because he had a much bigger reputation to live

up to. One he created himself during Watergate. Plus, he's much more experienced and really knew better!

3. Great--now JM

will think she is vindicated. If the vote were the other way, it would be Bobo Woo thinking his reputation was still big enough to carry him.

4. Woodward was a hero of my youth. Now he is just another sellout.

Not just for failure to disclose, but for going on interviews to rip Fitz, knowing full well he was on the "inside." Just damn.

7. "Sellout" is the perfect word to describe both of them.

They both got caught up in the power and fame over a pursuit of truth. They sold their souls for materialistic gain. It's really pitiful and disgusting.

5. Bob

I always though Judy was scum. I never thought that about Bob. Until now.

6. Any reporter that won't.....

do their frigging job. I would not care if a reporter wrote from the left, middle or right perspective as long as they did their job and told the truth. To me, that is all that matters.

I get so fed up when watching or reading the news when it is obvious a reporter is lazy and doesn't do full and accurate research.

What is even more infuriating is that in the age of the internet, there is even more resources and data out there for reporters to use and make sure their work is accurate.

8. I just chose 'Bob Woodward' ...

... for all of the reasons posted above. Judy always came off as another airhead who got herself a reportin' job. Woodward had a reputation -- the bigger you are, the harder you fall. What a disappointment!

10. For your next runoff, how about Woodward vs. Friedman?

Man, talk about your freakin' neo-con sellouts, Tom Friedman leads the pack. I'd have a hard time picking between those two.

13. I've seen him that way ever since "Bush at War"

A more shameless blowjob of a book has never been given to a sitting president.

Disgusting.

12. Apples and oranges.

Woodward was more shameless but Miller did more damage in some ways.

They both deserve to be locked up.

15. Good points

What Judy did made the Iraq war more possible leading to tens of thousands of deaths.

14. Woodward used to be an investigative reporter...

now he's a snivelling toady to the powers that be. It's disgusting to watch.
