Is Ben Bradlee senile?

Harsh opening I know, but after listening to his rambling incoherent appearance on Imus this morning the question is suddenly sadly relevant.
Maybe it was too early in the morning for the famously ubiquitous former Washington Post Editor.
That would be the charitable explanation.
I say a kind of common Washington dry rot has taken up stately residence in Ben's frontal lobes.
I'm just confrontational that way I guess....
:)
For about five whole minutes of precious congressionally licensed FCC-approved airtime, Ben couldn't keep straight whether Jayson Blair was under discussion or his own Pulitzer Prize winning plagiarist, Janet Cook.
Committed journaphiles will recall that Ms. Cook, a reporter for Bradlee's Washington Post, concocted a phoney eight year old heroin addict for a story that won the Pulitzer Prize.
Bradlee was contrite when the whole thing got blown wide open, donned sackcloth and ashes and make with the penitent act.
He kept his job in the end.
yay.
Eventually though, the I-Man and Bradlee got off all this historic misery and segued into a predictably patronizing assault on Hillary Clinton's new book.
Guffawing like a Harvard Undergrad who just go his fake ID past the bouncers at the Hong Kong, Ben cast jolly manly aspersions as to Mrs. Clinton's truthfulness. Apparently he thinks she knew all about Monica Lewinsky wa-ay before Bill actually told her....thus her "shock"in the book is a big put on.
That of course somehow makes her a liar....and we all know what the DC Press Corpse thinks of liars.
If I was Ben Bradlee and in possession of all my critical faculties, I'd keep my pie hole shut about who-knew-what when.
In his own memoirs "A Good Life: Newspapering and Other Adventures" Ben is "shocked" to discover his manly pal President Kennedy carried on a long term extra marital affair with Bradlee's own sister in law.
Bradlee started out as JFK's next door neighbor in Georgetown and there was little political gossip he didn't share with his famously ambitious friend.
Seems pretty dubious to me that such a relentlessly plugged in DC newsman wouldn't know about this...more than likely Bradlee kept it quiet to save his wife's dignity etc etc etc....
I doubt I'm gonna read Mrs. Clinton's book...but then Bradlee freely admitted this morning he hadn't read it either.
Nonetheless this didn't stop him from regurgitating the media whore line on Mrs. Clinton's memoirs with remarkable alacrity...hell I guess his senescence just mysteriously stops when the Clinton family is under discussion.
Sick
Demented
Typical...
