Robert Redford's Watergate Sightings

The way Robert Redford sees it, Watergate "is happening every day."

In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Redford predictably pointed out similarities between Nixon's cover-up and the so-called secretive nature of the Bush administration.

"It's pretty transparent; it's not something you have to reach for or exaggerate," Redford opines. "You can go right down the list . . . of things like Watergate happening almost on a regular basis with this particular administration."

Redford played the character of Bob Woodward in the movie "All the President's Men" some 30 years ago. Ever since then "old media" reporters have sought his supposed wisdom on the subject.

The Left Coast Report suggests that seeking out Redford for his expertise on Watergate is like seeking out Heath Ledger for his expertise on pup tents.
