It was treated like a book and fact checked like one. So, why not do the same here? It's like you're offended that the book exists.

I would read any book written by a guy who had access to this WH for months. I would read it with a critical eye and read critiques and fact-checks, too, but I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand.

Actually, I imagine if someone wrote a book with dozens of falsehood about W you would dismiss him.

Really? I read all the Woodward books about W's White House, even though they were attacked. Didn't believe every word, but read them as a data point along with other books and articles on W.

If that's your only point, then I agree. But "therefore Wolff's book is all bullshit and not worth investigating" does not follow from that.

Well, I think under any other president a book like this isn't treated seriously in any way

Never been a president like this, and he can blame himself for the fact that he's being treated by the standards he himself set during the campaign.

No. Every president is awful in their own special way. But if everyone's standards are malleable depending on the president then we're really screwed.

"Every president is awful in their own special way." But some are more awful than others.

Agreed. This one is a mixed bag. I can't think of a single policy I liked the past eight years.
