Reply #28: They Bring Up Watergate...Woodward Was A Judas [View All]

[KharmaTrain]

The Right Wing still blames Woodward for bringing down Nixon...and then went into a tizzy with his Casey revelations that led to a real shitstorm in the Raygun years. These elephants have long memories. While Dean may have sold out, it was Woodward to pushed the story and came out as the Robert Redford hero.

I developed respect for Dean back during Watergate. I listened to the Ervin hearing every day when I was working and thought how much guts it took for this guy to get up and spill all that he did. Except for Paul O'Neill (and that's said in the loosest of terms), I don't see anyone associated with this regime who comes even close to opening up the "cancer" that was the Nixon regime like he did.

I also really enjoyed his take during the Clinton inquisition. He's from the old East Coast Repugnican club that was shoved under the bus with the Southern Strategy in '68.

Woodward plays the CW game that when you piss off both sides that somehow you're being fair. I expect that's how he'll play this thing and will take the right wing outrage all the way to the bank.

Cheers...
