Watergate veteran and Vanity Fair contributor calls for bipartisan hearings investigating the Bush presidency. Should Republicans on the Hill take the high road and save themselves come November?

Carl Bernstein is not pulling any punches.

I was lucky enough to attend a speech by Bernstein a few weeks ago. The topic was on the use of anonymous sources, and the audience was mostly journalism students. He went into his dissatisfaction with the current administration at points, but not in any great length or depth. You could tell he had much to say on the subject, but he did not feel it was the right time to unleash. This is Carl Bernstein unleashing. There is a reason this man is one of the great heros of journalism, and it extends far beyond the work he did with Bob Woodward.

That being said, this article notes at the bottom that he has written a biography of Hillary Clinton which will be coming out next year. If I had to venture a guess, he is going to get attacked as an ideologue pining for a Clinton run in 2008. I don't think that is a fair assessment, but its likely to be widely accepted.
