Woodward, We Hardly Know you

I remember when, Bob Woodward, the scrappy young reporter uncovered the Watergate scandal. What a hero he was to all of us who were against the Nixon Administration. At that time there was complete jubilation that the Nixon Administration's corruption was finally uncovered. I have always respected Woodward for having the guts to break that story. But now...

As Huffington states, Woodward has gone from exposing a presidential cover-up in Watergate to covering up his role in Plamegate.

Sadly, Woodward is now being compared to Judith Miller. As John at Americablog says: It's also beginning to sound a lot like Bob Woodward is becoming our next Judith Miller. His repeated rants in defense of this administration, and against the special prosecutor, certainly take on a very interesting edge considering Mr. Woodward didn't bother disclosing that he was quite involved in this story, and was hardly the impartial observer his silence suggested he was. Not to mention, he knew all along that HE TOO had received the leak, suggesting that a clear pattern of multiple leaks was developing, yet he still went on TV and said that all of these repeated leaks were just a slip of the tongue?

How low you have sunk, Mr. Woodward, from the hero of Watergate to a villain of Plamegate, we hardly know you.
