the Blue Dogs in the previous Congress just loved him, didn't they?

Bob Woodward's book? Jennicut Sep 2012 #30

That book is written by Bob Woodward - I think I heard that he is a right-winger. Tx4obama Sep 2012 #31

I don't think Bob Woodward was ever an ultra right winger. He has sadly become a hack though. Jennicut Sep 2012 #39

Bob Woodward is Naval Intelligence. (You never really leave.) msanthrope Sep 2012 #42

True. Jennicut Sep 2012 #45
