So far Woodward's book is just old news

[tavernier]

for those of us who have followed this nonsense day by day. But it might be an eye opener and game changer to those who are hearing of these things for the first time.

But we on DU could probably have dictated it.

1. Just adding that I have been reading it most of today

on audible while traveling.

[Control-Z]

2. Is that what you call it when listening to an audible?

Reading? I'm thinking about trying out audible books. I'd wondered what the terminology would be. Lol.

3. I'm good with listening...I put on audible and do my housework...

[snowybirdie]

6. Me too

My daughter said it's a good time to clean the toilets

[HipChick]

7. Check your local library for audible like sources...

4. Reading with my ears.

I have gone through many dozens of books in short order, and I love the convenience of reading while doing housework and taking long walks.

5. Yes - have two friends with advanced MD

Inveterate readers who now use Audible and call it "reading." They play close attention to the content than most who "read" the conventional way. One member in one of my book clubs uses the same term and we never choose a book that isn't available on Audible for that reason.

14. Audible is the greatest!

I used to read books fervently, till I quit for some reason?

Now Audible has reintroduced me to 'reading'.

8. As I read it, I "hear" Dan Rather's voice, not Woodward's.

Woodward's voice has always sounded like he's suffering from some sort of neurological or vocal condition. Even when he was young, he sounded a bit like he does today.

9. Sorry, but that "old news" is bullshit. Woodward has tapes, dates, names, and details you never

could have obtained. This stuff will stand up in court. You sound very proud of your superior insight into the Trump White House. I for one am grateful to Woodward for doing the ground work on this.

[tavernier]

10. Oh, did I come off that way?

Sorry, didn’t mean to.

I think his book is certainly valuable and meticulously researched. I just thought most of what I had read today sounded very familiar. Also we have become quite desensitized, IMO.

[Nitram]

16. I'm sorry my comment was so sharp. I did think you belittled the value of the book because most

of us at DU have already come to the same conclusions about Trump. Thanks for your very decent reply.

11. Agree! I don't care how many times it's talked about Woodward is such a credible source

[Garrett78]

15. Not that we'll ever hear more than a tiny fraction of those tapes, if that.

12. We knew since the escalator going down

[dawnie51]

13. Metaphor for the country.....

an escalator going down. Anyone who watched that, with the paid actors waving their signs and Dumpolini glowering all the way down, knew we were in for a lot of shit.
