MADISON -- Howard Fineman, Newsweek's chief political correspondent, said Monday night in the first program of a Drew University lecture series, that Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward had become a "court stenographer" for the Bush administration.

Standing before a crowd of nearly 300, Fineman, said Woodward went from being an outsider "burning the beltway"with his investigative work in the 1970s Watergate scandal under President Nixon to being, " an official court stenographer of the Bush administration."

"He's a great reporter,"Fineman said of Woodward, "but he's become a great reporter of official history."

You've got to get up pretty early in the morning to get whatever's been TOTALLY FUCKING OBVIOUS FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS past Howard Fineman!

:eyes:

AGAIN!!!!!!

-- anyone else's mind when the subject of Bob Woodward comes up?

Give me Seyour Hersh. Give me Helen Thomas.

To hell with Bob Woodward.

Fineman only knows how to blast in the direction of the wind.

the irony overfloweth today.

Mixed blessing I guess.

Fineman is so far up Bush's ass all you can see are his feet.


Sounds like "Fine" is jealous of "Woodie".
