Court cornholer biographer's legacy
"I think the work speaks for itself."
And it's saying "I'm a greased-up kneepadded shill for the misadministration!"
Under Boob Woodward's unusual relationship with the WaComPo, he stays on the payroll while mainly writing books from his Georgetown home, with the paper carrying excerpts -- and providing a publicity boost -- upon publication. This has sparked some resentment among the staff.
And also among the public:
When [the ComPo's executive enabler] Downie hosted an online chat with readers recently, the questioners' tone was strikingly hostile.
"Do you think Woodward was covering up for the vice president?" one reader asked. "I used to regard Mr. Woodward as a hero," said another. "Mr. Woodward appeared to be more interested in protecting his book than reporting the news," said a third. "Bob Woodward blew it when he blew Bush," a fourth should have remarked.
