One Big Unhappy Family

Just when the White House thought it was safe to go into the water, Bob Woodward wrote another book. It's titled "State of Denial."

In his two books preceding this one, he was accused of getting into bed with President Bush. This one scours the Bush administration and leaves bodies all over the floor.

The biggest surprise is Woodward's revelation that Andrew Card, the president's chief of staff, was "Deep Throat."

Once again the country is divided -- those who are pro-Woodward vs. those who believe the only reason Bob wrote the book was to affect the elections in November.

The word that keeps cropping up is "dysfunctional." The White House is a dysfunctional family, and Woodward gets inside to tell you what they were fighting about all the time.

Woodward claims he interviewed 200 sources, many more than once. It took him two years to write the book.

He was able to do this because a majority of the people he talked to had left the White House bitterly or at least "dysfunctionally." They were pleased to have someone to talk to about their grudge.

All over town they talked -- and the White House denied:

"No, that's not what I said."

"I don't recall that meeting."

"Woodward put words into my mouth."

Tony Snow, the White House press secretary, said the book was "cotton candy."
