How on earth do I find time to blog? Well, unlike so many independent bloggers out there I respect, I'm no journalist or activist, I don't even try to earn a little extra income from selling ads (the only ad on this site is the one that permits me to annoy you for free -- I recommend Blogdrive. All the bells and whistles for no cost.)
I write because I like playing on my computer, it's fun, a release, a hobby. You can only play so many video games on the computer and at my age all the porn sites look the same.
So I write because it's fun for me -- but what's Bob Woodward's excuse?
If you've been staying in a cave this last couple of days, after you're done taking a shower, catch up and Follow Taegan Goddard's links.
If you are wondering, as was I after scraping the bat guano off my sneakers and emerging from my own cave, what to make of Bob's involvement with the secret source of the most intriguing scandal since, um . . . well, you know -- that Deep Troat guyl Arrianna made the rounds to sum up the blogosphere's reaction. as did Slate, and of course Crooks and Liars has the keys to the video vault.
I haven't read any of it, I mean, who has the time, really. Besides, isn't it obvious, now that Mark Felt came out of the parking garage, Bobby must have wanted in on the newest deep cover leaker, right? Why should Judy Miller, and Bob Novak have all the fun?
OK. I will admit, I've read some of what's out there, but I came to the same conclusion as Digby before I read his Fitzmas speculation -- that it was none other than the Shrubster himself, the stupidest man working in the Whitehouse, including the night janitor, who burned a CIA operative.
The only thing that gives one pause that my theory has no merit whatsoever -- besides the fact that I completely pulled it outta my ass -- is Bush's reported petulant behavior lately, going way beyond his usual irrationality but now isolating himself with his Mom and his girlfriends and keeping his distance even from Cheney as well as Rove. That certainly looks like a man who's mad at his buddies for lying even to him along with everybody else.
I think not, however. Bush is, if anything, a paranoid little noodge, a sissy who acts like a bully and is now running to Mamma now that he thinks he'll get caught.
I think that Bush's behavior is wholly consistent with Bob Woodward sitting on the real scoop of the century. Fuck Deep Throat, a nobody, a bitter deputy who got passed over for promotion. When you've got the President of the Untied States giving you "unprecedented access," showing you classified material, and generally acting like a bragging frat boy proving how important he is, MAN, HAVE YOU GOT A STORY! Especially if POTUS himself burned Valerie Plame.
It's a shame we'll never hear this story. So tell me once again why Woodward calls himself a journalist? Doncha wish Bobby did this for fun, like bloggers, and not for profit, continued access, and book sales?
