As a reporter, how many times can you go to the, “Just before he died he told me that…” bit? Dead men are fast becoming Bob Woodward’s best sources for information. So much so that Wes Pruden, the no-nonsense newspaper man that runs the Washington Times’ editorial page, has taken to calling Woodward “Mortuary Bob” for his uncanny ability to get the scoop on the days headlines from dead men.
Bob’s first big break interviewing the dead was with President Reagan’s former CIA director, William Casey. Casey was in intensive care, in a comma, with the family outside on a death watch. Somehow Bob snuck into the room, coaxed Casey from his comma and got Casey to give him the scoop on Iran Contra. While everyone who knew Casey claimed Woodward’s story was crap, the MSM ran with the story. Now the MSM is at it again with Woodward’s story on President Ford and how, in death, he opposed the Iraq war. Woodward has again stuffed words into a dead man’s mouth and we’re all supposed to take it as gospel. All this proves to me is that while Libs laugh at the idea that Jesus could raise the dead, they worship the fact that Bob Woodward can talk to them.
