John Belushi's widow says Bob Woodward is a jerk
Edited on Thu Dec-01-05 05:25 PM by CatWoman
so does CatWoman :D

In Belushi widow's book,
Woodward is no hero

Bob Woodward is getting it from all sides.

You've heard the uproar over the famed Watergate sleuth's taking two years to reveal that he was leaked the name of CIA agent Valerie Plame. Now the widow of John Belushi has recruited a gang of the late comic's friends to pay back Woodward for "Wired," his grim 1985 bio of her husband.

After the "SNL" player OD'd, Judy Belushi Pisano encouraged all of his pals to talk to Woodward, who, like John, had grown up in Wheaton, Ill.


She now tells us: "Woodward was the wrong guy . I was foolish."

1. "Wired" is famous for having sucked royally.
Passionless, boring, moralizing prose about a life that was so vibrant and wild. Bob Woodward is a hack, and would still be considered one, had he not gotten the break of his life...

2. I was reading something that interviewed Jim Belushi
and you should have heard what he had to say about Woodward as well. But I agree Woodward's book really painted John in an awful light

6. Dan Ackroyd put a curse on the guy who played Belushi in the movie
Forgot his name (must be that curse)
