BrainLess Zahn just asked Bob Woodward:
If he thought there was something fundamentally wrong with quoting "unnamed administration officials" in accusing an administration of wrongdoing. (This, of course, is part of her attack on Joe Wilson for attacking LordGodBush's administration, by attacking those who accuse the administration of a crime)

Yes. She asked Bob Woodward that.

Watergate Bob was kind enough not to embarras her by discussing his use of Deep Throat.

I'm still aghast at the absolute and craven ignorance of the talking heads.

3. Methinks they are paid to talk dumb to the

American populace.

They are paid to look good, yes, but they are paid exceedingly well to lull us into a false sense of stupidity.

10. Once he was a knight in shining armor
I lived through Watergate and remember that he was once a real live reporter.

He was. He really really was.

His brain was sucked dry by the sound of money and he now bows down to the junta and spends his time praising LordGodBush.

He must have a hollow ringing sound in his head as the current potential of a Watergate cubed goes silently down the drain for lack of a Young Bob Woodward.

18. not really
he was just the intelligence arm of the story, keeping things as they were intended, I would guess. Carl Bernstein was the better hero Id say. Check out his 1977 Rolling Stone article on the CIA in the media.
Woodward is the king of whores. Read (I didnt say pay for) any of the drool in his book "Veil" and he will tell you all the classic CIA cover stories. KGB killed Kennedy! AHAHHAHAHahahahahhaHAHAh, they think theyre cute, dont they?

8. Next step for Von Zahn -
Give it a few months, and she'll ask:

Is there something fundamentally wrong with accusing the adminstration of wrongdoing?

Heil.

12. Kind enough?
What did he say? It seems just as craven of him not to mention it as is seems ignorant of her.

13. CNN is just trying to keep up with misinformation so they can rival
faux news. Remember, ratings are more important then reporting!

15. Er, was that not Carl Bernstein with Paula?
Rather than Bob Woodward?

And nobody has referred to Wilson quoting 'unnamed sources', I believe she implied Robert Novak, whom Carl discussed?

Or was there another Zahn bit I missed?

16. you're right.
it was Bernstein. And she was criticizing Novak for quoting unnamed sources.

The irony stands.

17. Someone said Zahn is a personal friend of the Bushies...
and, from what I've seen when, for example, she interviewed Wilson, I'd say it's true.

20. Zahn is the most despicable whorish schill there is
I can't stand that cunt.

I also can't stand the cunt on Capital Report on CNBC. Who the fuck is she, that skeletor, cross-jawed skank always schilling for Bush. She's like some kind of lizard zombie stepford-wife republican nightmare.
