    Pardon my ignorance, but what do people do in a "j-lab"? Adverb fusion? Primary source distillation? The physics of being a shitty White House correspondent?

    "Deliberate food"? I've taught ESL and remedial composition and I've still never seen anything like that. If I had any musical skills I might choose that for a band name.

    I am also baffled about this eating thing (not that there's anything wrong with that). Aren't they supposed to be drawing down a bottle of rye while they're banging out copy?

    In reply to Bob Woodward, Nixon Man
    From All The President's Men, published in 1974:


    "Woodward, a registered Republican, did not vote. He couldn't decide whether he was more uneasy with the disorganization and naive idealism of McGovern's campaign or with Richard Nixon's conduct. And he believed that not voting enabled him to be more objective in reporting on Watergate- a view Bernstein regarded as silly."


    Oh, yes. Big news.

    @ipaidipod: I'm forced to guess at what your point is.


    Hamilton Nolan had a point when he said that it's hard not to form an opinion of who's better when you're a reporter. Especially in the last election. That was a pretty clear decision, wasn't it?


    Furthermore, Woodward is confused, which doesn't jive with his status as a highly respected legend in journalism. He confuses objectivity with journalistic integrity and transparency. Just to make it clear, let me outline the difference: Your objectivity is instrumental in your being able to pick a side to vote for, your journalistic integrity requires you to be fair to both parties even after having done so and your transparency requires you to be upfront your reasons for having done everything. That's my definition of a good journalist. Woodware conflates everything into one term, which makes it completely meaningless.

    If anyone has Woodwards number, I would like to call him about coming to my "battleground state" and registering as a Republican so that there will be two of us in 2012.

    He more than did his part to get Bush re-elected in 2004.

    Contrast this with the books he published after the election.

    @ChillbearLatrigue: Joan Didion has his number. From Political Fictions:
    "What seems most remarkable in this new Woodward book is exactly what seemed remarkable in the previous Woodward books, each of which was presented as the insiders' inside story and each of which went on to become a number-one bestseller: these are books in which measurable cerebral activity is virtually absent."

    This only encourages me to think his whole "uncovering Watergate" thing was just a delicious bit of luck and it coulda been done by a spunky Muncie Star Press obit writer.

    Why does old Bob look like someone is fondling his fondue fork in this picture? Are there specially trained piranha under his desk gently nibbling away unwanted scrotal hair? Look at that expression. What goes on here?
