Again, my good man, its called money. Ol Woodward saw a trend coming up in an election year when Dems will do anything and try anything to unseat the man they hate more than any other. The man who upset the conventional applecart wisdom that says nice Republicans will not fight back because it's unseemly and just not done at the country club. Apparently not many Dems go to Texas country clubs...
But I digress. Bob Woodward sold out. And Terry McAwful has delivered a superior book promo package courtesy of his cronies in the press as a payoff.
You read it here first.

Given your hypothesis about his motivations, it still doesn't make sense that he wrote a nice book about Bush before. Even if that, too, was for money, how come he is only derided for being ever-so-greedy, when it is also coincidentally a negative book about Bush? I didn't hear y'all calling him money-grubbing when he was writing nice things for profit.

That's my point. It doesn't appear that it was brought up, because no one cares if he is money-grubbing and greedy as long as he is writing nice things.

Do you have anything on topic to say or do you always skirt issues you can't speak to by insulting people? This is what people always resort to when they can't come up with a good rebuttal

Actually you can't seem to understand a simple post which addressed it perfectly well.
Last time you posted about gay marriage I still couldn't figure out why you were a liar as well or whether you were Greek. Perhaps while you're accusing me of insulting people, we can discuss your character as well candy ass.

Bob Woodward = jackasshole, regardless of what he says about Bush.

Without Bob Woodward (and or course Carl Bernstein), we probably would think that Richard Nixon was a real honest guy.
Woodward is a journalist. He apparantely did lots of interviews, and you can be sure he took notes and confirmed his facts with at least two or three sources.
So, what we have is two way finger pointing between two groups who really have the public's trust...
Reporters and Politicians.

Some say: Pretty fair and pretty good
I haven't read Woodward's latest, but several who have say it gives a pretty good and fair account of Bush and his advisors.
In his interviews, however, Woodward has dissed and lied - even about what is in the book.
It'll be good for the future to have this close-up look at the pre-war discussions and actions.
