Carl Bernstein tells Editor & Publisher that "we are obviously watching ... the implosion of a presidency," and Anna Quindlen writes that "maybe someday his security detail could drive George W. Bush over to take a look" at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, where "he'll be able to see himself in the reflective surface."
