read books about Watergate for a number of years before I decided to write that book.

I'm happy with how it's been received.

No major publisher would touch it.

Of course not.

Unfortunately, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, they are the Mount Rushmore of journalism.

And they tell so many lies.

I mean, they lie when they don't even need to lie.

That's what's kind of amazing about them.

Bernstein said that he ducked a subpoena, that he was going to get subpoenaed, and he ducked the subpoena, and he went and saw the movie Deep Throat.

At that point, when he ducked that subpoena, the movie Deep Throat wasn't even showing in Washington, D.C.

I mean...

The lies.

I mean, Bernstein talks about going out to, I think it's Maryland or Virginia, to meet with one of the treasurers of the committee to re-elect the president.

And he talks about going through this hellacious rain, this hellacious storm as he's driving out there.

There was no storm that day.

I mean, it's, I mean, and

If you read All the President's Men, which won a Pulitzer Prize, became a bestseller, and that was a movie with Robert Redford and Dustin Allman.

It's fiction.

It's been embraced as reality.

And you've got all these kids going to journalism school, wanting to be Woodward and Bernstein, when really there is no Woodward and Bernstein.
