Oh that's right - Bob Woodward is King! and don't you forget it.

This just in - Nora Ephron commenting on how it came to be that Bob Woodward was stupid enough to think that it just didn't matter what he knew and when he knew it.

Ephron (the former Mrs. Carl Bernstein, which was news to me) had this to say on Arianna Huffington's blog:

If you don't talk to Woodward, you'll be sorry. I mention this not because it's precisely true (look at me), but because it's an operating truth in official Washington. What's more, it's the only explanation I can come up with for why Woodward was foolish enough to trash Fitzgerald's investigation; I suspect that Fitzgerald is the only powerful figure in Washington who does not pour his heart out to Woodward on a weekly basis, and Woodward was telling him that he'd better get on the train.

So Fitzgerald wouldn't sit up like a trained animal and that's why Woodward trashed his investigation? Oh, that's just wonderful. Take down Richard Nixon and you get to Own the World. Don't just run this guy off the Post masthead - he should be banned from Washington on principal - guess what, Bob? We got rid of the monarchy about two hundred years ago, and no one should have to kiss your ass.

But wait, it gets better, as David Gergen comments that when he worked for Bill Clinton, his higher-ups told him he was "expected" to speak to Bob Woodward once a week. Isn't that marvelous? King of the liberal hill for over thirty years - I think it's time to CHOP OFF HIS HEAD.
