Woodward Officially Flips Out: Agrees With Hannity: Journalists Should Ask Obama About Bill Ayers

[kpete]

HANNITY: The fact that the president was never asked a lot about the 6 trillion in debt that he accumulated prior to this election, in this first election wasn’t asked about his association with Bill Ayers was troublesome to me, I think we’ve got a media that’s not as critical as perhaps it once was in, for example, the days of Watergate.

WOODWARD: Well, I agree with that. We need to be very aggressive and it’s one of the judges that said democracies die in darkness and I really think that’s true.

1. Where is the real Bob Woodward

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

5. Sadly that is the real one. It's clear to me now that he was nothing other

than Katherine Graham's errand boy. If he were a real journalist he would've been right along Bob Parry and the rest trying to expose the cesspool that was the Reagan administration.

[ProSense]

2. He has lost his damn mind. Let me repeat

what I think is going on: Obama won. He didn't become a one-termer as some had hoped.

3. Look at the parrot!

Just keep on repeating those lies, Bob, and hope the majority of us don't remember that you were last relevant almost 40 years ago... I also imagine that the modern Woodward would promptly forget all about WaterGate.

4. Come on Bob! Go full Birther. I know you have it in you!

I suggest your next book be co-authored with Orly Taitz. You two are meant to do this!

Axelrod Presses Woodward On Whether He Felt Threatened (VIDEO)

Former White House adviser and current MSNBC analyst David Axelrod on Friday pressed Bob Woodward on whether he really felt threatened by Obama administration official Gene Sperling.

"The headline in the Washington Post, your newspaper, was Woodward says that he was threatened by the White House," Axelrod said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

"But I never have. Come on. You know that. No," Woodward said.

(The headline on the Washington Post actually read: "Woodward vs. White House: Washington at its weirdest.&quot

"They got the impression, from what you said, that you felt you were being threatened," Axelrod continued. "And you just read to the Politico one line from that email. And when the full emails came out they were as cordial as can be. His email was cordial, and your response was cordial. So if you felt threatened, why didn't you say to Gene, don't threaten me?

"No, I did not feel threatened," Woodward responded. "What I have said, David, and come on, you are making, putting words in my mouth. I said I don't think this is the way to operate. And you and I have had many discussions. You've never said to me, Oh, you're going to regret doing that, am I correct?"

Woodward: White House Official’s Email Was Code For ‘You Better Watch Out’ (VIDEO)

Clown.

8. The idea of Woodward objecting to someone "putting words in his mouth"

Is delightfully ironic.

He has made his entire post-watergate career on doing just that to others.

[CJCRANE]

10. I think I know what this is. It's a projection of Ari Fleischer's "watch what you say"

onto the current administration.

That's how they reinforce the false equivalence meme. For any criticism of the Bush administration they try to project the same thing onto Obama.

That's why RW talking points are so easy*. They just copy and paste from our criticisms during the Bush era. There's no need for originality.

*They do the same thing with conspiracy theories (but somehow manage to make them even more insane).

7. They must be tiring of rehashing Benghazi over and over and ...

Sounds like they're looking for another poor old dead horse to flog.

9. So they're back to "palling around with terrorists" again? nt
