Just heard on ABC News that Jack Anderson has died

[Somawas]

He was on Nixon's enemies list and outed Iran Contra. A real journalist gone.

1. I remember first reading his column thinking...

'Wow, where does this guy get his inside info that no one else can find?' I'll bet he inspired a lot of good reporters after him. RIP

2. Scott Armstrong

was one of his proteges.

Armstrong worked with Bob Woodward on their book about the Supreme Court and maybe another (I think), and then they parted ways. I suspect Princess Bob was far too precious to share credit with a guy who's a REAL investigative journalist, not just a White Boy Asskisser.
