Briefly saw Carl Bernstein on a CNN panel, and if I heard right he was joining in with

[still_one]

the R/W refrain that President Obama and Hillary appear weak by not using the term "Radical Islam".

Did he even listen to what the President or Hillary said?

Between him and Woodward, their day has come and gone

[displacedtexan]

1. I saw him the other day on some cable news crap show.

He's trying to remain relevant. Not doing a bang up job of it, though.

2. That is a good way to put it. It sounded like he was trying to drum up a controversy

[skylucy]

3. Bernstein and Woodward--"Their day has come and gone"

Absolutely. They are both goofy these days.

14. "They are both goofy these days."

4. That's too bad.. I haven't heard it but I read that President Obama

explained exactly why he didn't use the term "radical Islam".

"Drumming up a controversy" is right.. Obama's got this so chill the **** out everybody.

5. They were talking about it on the Thom Hartmann show today too

Someone was filling in for Hartmann but I don't know who it was. He was saying that Obama's speech pointed out how weak Hillary had sounded. He was annoying me so I turned the station.

6. Yeah, it's all about the Hillary hate with those bozos.. they were hating on President Obama

too.. not that long ago.

7. Trump is being an ass and his poll numbers are falling

so the false equivalency crowd has to drum up some bullshit to drag down the Ds to the same level.

That, and some of these guys love playing the role of contrarian. If one of their ridiculous theories or obesrvations pans out, they look like geniuses of the inside game. If not, well, no one remembers when they got it wrong.

8. I find him extremely repulsive.

[caquillo]

13. Bernstein was exposed as a selfish womanizer in ex-wife Nora Ephron's book "Heartburn"

Which was later turned into a movie starring Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson. According to Ephron, the man had no respect for women.

9. Bernstein was/is not a

fan of Hillary - and has had little good to say about Prez O.

He and Woodward may once have been icons. But their day has LONG since passed and both are trying in every way they can to make themselves relevant.

They have become sad and pathetic, IMO.

10. I knew Woodward wasn't, but it looks like Bernstein has a similar MO

11. Bernstein's book about Hillary

came out in 2008 and is generally a good read that provides a nuanced and fair picture. https://www.amazon.com/WOMAN-CHARGE-Hillary-Rodham-Clinton/dp/0307388557

More recently, however, he has begun repeating RW slurs and smears in re Hillary's email and carrying the GOP's water for them. See, e.g.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/2/7/1481227/-Carl-Bernstein-White-House-horrified-at-how-Hillary-Clinton-is-blowing-up-her-campaign

Even Breitbart has been delighted to quote him, but I won't post that here.

[riversedge]

12. You are correct.

[Walk away]

15. Everybody has to make a living. nt

16. I appluad him for his work on Watergate

But he's not a person I look to beyond that. I just - hmm . . .
