Hugh Hewitt interviewed Bob Woodward's former coworker Thomas Edsall yesterday and, among other things, hammered Edsall on Woodward's credibility.  When asked about Woodward conducting an interview with a deceased Bill Casey, Edsall proposed the following:

    Thomas Edsall: Yeah, but let me explain...say
    something. I think Bob Woodward may well have gone
    into the hotel room. He leans over the bed to try to
    say something to this body that's there. He leans on
    the chest as he asked this question of whatever it
    was. And when a body is like that, out comes air. and
    he goes (groan). And when Woodward hears that, because
    that's what he wants to hear, as the quote that he
    puts into Casey's mouth, and he may well be convinced
    that what he wrote is true.

I couldn't help but think of the scene in Princess Bride, where a "nearly dead" Westley is taken to Miracle Max for resuscitation.  Max's cure only works in cases in which there's a noble cause.  To ask the "nearly dead" Westley what his noble cause is, Max pumps air into Westley's lungs, asks the question, then presses on Westley's abdomen.  Westley's noble answer is "true love," but Max hears what he wants to hear (a la Woodward, according to Edsall's fanciful explanation:

    But that's not what he said. He distinctly said "to
    blave." And, as we all know, "to blave" means "to
    bluff." So you're probably playing cards, and he
    cheated —

Maybe Casey said "true love," too.  True love, to blave, I believe.  Yeah, that's it.
