John Kelly<\/a>, the White House chief of staff, is quoted as saying the president is an idiot, and that it\u2019s the worst job he\u2019s ever had.<\/p>\nKelly issued a similar denial through the White House.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe idea I ever called the President an idiot is not true,” Kelly said in a statement.<\/p>\n
He called the book passage \u201canother pathetic attempt to smear people close to President Trump and distract from the administration\u2019s many successes.\u201d (All passages are from the Miitary Times article, at the link above.)<\/p>\n
Okay,\u00a0I get that Woodward doesn\u2019t like Trump. A lot of people don’t like Trump. So what? Is this supposed to be news? But putting words in his mouth? Should I put some words in your<\/em> mouth, Woodward?<\/p>\nBob Woodward did his best to get Nixon removed from office and with his coauthor Carl Bernstein, the two of them succeeded. But Woodward is still living on the glamour from those Glory Days at WaPo, the intrigue of Deep Throat, and exposing classified information about the war in Vietnam from Ellsberg, who should have been thrown into jail to share a cell with Nixon, for what he did. And frankly, both Woodward and Bernstein, and Kathryn Graham, who ran WaPo back then, should all have been thrown into jail for publishing that stuff. \u00a0It heinously jeopardized American lives over there in Southeast Asia. It was inexcusable.<\/p>\n
Watergate has become a metaphor for dirty dog doings in Foggy Bottom. I get that. I was there, watching that crap transpire on live television during the Congressional hearings.<\/p>\n
But this ain\u2019t 1974, Woodward, and you don\u2019t have a story. Try to understand that, for once.<\/p>\n
There is no collusion going on in WDC. There\u2019s no interference from the Soviet Union, now known as Russia but still the same old-same old Spy vs. Spy game. There is none of the conspiracy to make Trump look bad that you want so desperately to invent, no matter how much you want it to happen. As much as I\u2019d like to go back to gas prices at $.50\/gallon for regular (there was no unleaded at that period in history), unlike you, I have no desire to live in the past on faded glory, and watch a non-story turned into nothing more than some bored, retired reporter\u2019s notion that he can again destabilize this country and create trouble where there is none.<\/em><\/p>\nThere is NO Watergate here, you sap.<\/p>\n
Get over yourself, Woodward. There is nothing \u2013 zero \u2013 zilch \u2013 nada \u2013 rien going on here except what you\u2019ve tried to cook up out of whole cloth in your pissy mind. If you don\u2019t have anything better to do than create a Tall Tale From Foggy Bottom out of dust bunnies, leftover bubble gum and stale soda crackers, then I suggest you retire to your domicile away from Washington and get over yourself.<\/p>\n
Making up fictitious quotes alluded to people whom you did not interview<\/u><\/em> means that you have nothing. Either provide their information or admit that you’re lying.<\/p>\nYou have nothing.<\/p>\n
You couldn\u2019t write a believable novel if your life depended on it. How do I know that? Because you just had this one published, you sap. As for people in the administration (like John Kelly) calling dTrump an idiot, you should know most of us have said similar things ourselves but we\u2019d rather have Trump in the Oval Office than whatever it was that ran against him.<\/p>\n
You have nothing.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s the big deal? Trump\u2019s smarter than you are. And while he is a lot of things, he is NOT Richard Nixon, who was also smarter then you have ever been.<\/p>\n
I have spent a good deal of time cleaning horse stalls. I know horse shit when I see it. You\u2019ve created quite a pile of it, Bob.<\/p>\n
Enjoy the sales while they last, Bob, because \u2013 well, while even baloney has a market as sandwich filler, after a while, people want another flavor in their lives. And Watergate means nothing to the generations which are following mine.<\/p>\n
And, no \u2013 your wishful thinking is not going to get this President unseated. This ain\u2019t the 1970s, like I said. You should pay attention to such things.<\/p>\n
