Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumBriefly saw Carl Bernstein on a CNN panel, and if I heard right he was joining in with
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

(15,493 posts)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.

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.

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