caught some of Bob Woodward on Hannity

he was talking about how he does research and kind of slipped out that recently Romney's "people" came to see him and said they had "proof" about something to do with Benghazi. Woodward asked what it was, and found it was all worthless 3rd hand information, telling him to go see so and so, and basically asking HIM to dig and find something, "they had nothing".
Anyway, it's just more proof of what a freaking slimeball Romney is.

1. They've got NOTHING. They've STILL got nothing. They never had anything to begin with.

Good to hear! Thanks for posting this, riverwalker. And thanks for having the stomach to watch that-guy-whose-name-rhymes-with-Vanity! That's something I can't quite stomach.

Found it very interesting how the Romney people tried to give credibility to a lies via a surrogate that they tricked.

Bad data in, bad data out. The same vacuum of researchers/intelligence that were sure of WMDs in Iraq.

He and Bernstein were such heroes for me because of Watergate
and All the President's Men.

But now... it's just so sad.

And was seen by mass public as rightwing hack he became

UNLIKE Mr. Bernstein

I know now (thanks to other DU's) why in watergate, only he was involved with "deep throat" and yet both had their byline on everything else

Woodward got the breadcrumb trail ending that DT wanted him to find
Nice and tidy job fullfilled imho(and others)
