Fw: New US Super Power (a myth which will be exposed)

[K3 V iN Cummiskey]

Bob Woodward needs to hang-it up already. He did good exposing Watergate some 35 years ago, but is now resting on past accomplishments. His partner recognized when it was time to go, and did so. Hanger-ones get repulsive.  His book is wasting pulp and only serves the vast population of people who have no clue as to  what is really happening in the world, ie (more disinformation). His interview said nothing. Besides your're not going to learn anything from any news program on the networks.  They are owned by the people who have fingers in all the corrupt activities of washington and all her prostitutes.

P.S. 60 minutes viewership, is just one more hour wasted in your, (i willnt say it), lives.
