More quotes by Bob Woodward
Deep Throat was a very unfortunate name given to the source by the managing editor of The Washington Post.
Bob Woodward
There are people who take rumors and embellish them in a way that can be devastating. And this pollution has to be eradicated by people in our business as best we can.
Bob Woodward
I believe Watergate shows that the system did work. Particularly the Judiciary and the Congress, and ultimately an independent prosecutor working in the Executive Branch.
Bob Woodward
People like to pigeonhole and say, Well, I'm a Washington insider, and you know, that's quite silly. What does that even mean?
Bob Woodward
The failure of the system to deal quickly was attributable to Nixon's lying, stonewalling and refusal to come clean. So it took 26 months for the final truth to be known.
Bob Woodward
I suspect there have been a number of conspiracies that never were described or leaked out. But I suspect none of the magnitude and sweep of Watergate.
Bob Woodward
Some newspapers have a hands-off policy on favored politicians. But it's generally very small newspapers or local TV stations.
Bob Woodward
...Obama said, 'I welcome debate among my team, but I won't tolerate division'.
Bob Woodward
If there's one thing that Trump does, he never quits.
Bob Woodward
Nixon's grand mistake was his failure to understand that Americans are forgiving, and if he had admitted error early and apologized to the country, he would have escaped.
Bob Woodward
Not a season passes without new disclosures showing Nixon's numerous attempts at criminal use of his presidential powers and in fact the scorn he held for the rule of law.
Bob Woodward
After Nixon resigned in 1974, he engaged in a very aggressive war with history, attempting to wipe out the Watergate stain and memory. Happily, history won, largely because of Nixon's tapes.
Bob Woodward
I give lectures for money, but all the money goes to charity. So, I make no money from it.
Bob Woodward
Way before Watergate, senior administration officials hid behind anonymity.
Bob Woodward
Clinton feels a profound alienation from the Washington culture here, and I happen to agree with him.
Bob Woodward
Using these unnamed sources, if done properly, carefully and fairly, provides more accountability in government.
Bob Woodward
I recently read some of the transcripts of Nixon's Watergate tapes, and they spent hours trying to figure out who was leaking and providing information to Carl and myself.
Bob Woodward
I think people are smart enough to sort it out. They know when they're watching one of these food fight shows where journalists sit around and yell and scream at each other, versus serious issue reporting.
Bob Woodward
Certain political figures think when you call them and ask them for a comment that you are somehow doing something that you shouldn't be doing.
Bob Woodward
Nixon had some large achievements in foreign affairs. They will be remembered. But a president probably gets remembered for one thing, and Watergate will head the Nixon list, I suspect.
