I'm Not Shocked By The Revelations From The Book, Are You? Really?

Pretty much business as usual there and certainly no different from what we know and heard, just the details of who he called what vary and the stupid/petty/inane/insane remarks are in line with what we've heard daily. Why does the media and so-called pundits keep expressing shock? As for Kelly, the guy is a racist schizo and I have no sympathy for him at all. If he hates the job so much why doesn't he just quit? Let's not forget he has played a significant role, along with Miller, in our current immigrant crisis.

It's as colossal a clusterfuck as I'd feared it would be. Nothing surprises me at this point--except for Traitor Tot's despicably high poll numbers. This meme I saw on Twitter hit home:

If I recall correctly, when the book was first discussed on DU as a forthcoming work about 2 months ago some/many of the comments here were along the lines of: "it will just be a fluff piece" and comments critical of BW. So some people might be surprised

Anyone following this WH knows the chaos stories

Between the media & Tweets, you can't miss the god awful mess and honestly, am not surprised people thought it would be a fluff piece. On many of his media appearances, Woodward seemed inclined to give the Comrade in the WH a pass. But that wouldn't have sold books.

light switches.

So it’s been all downhill from there, and there’s zero room for shock or surprise since Day 1

He had been a bit of a right-wing toady for much of the past decade. I guess the current situation is too much even for him.
