Deep Throat Comes Forward
 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vanity Fair magazine said on Tuesday that Mark Felt, a former FBI official, had revealed himself to be "Deep Throat," the legendary source who leaked Watergate scandal secrets to the Washington Post and brought down President Richard Nixon.

Unmasking the identity of "Deep Throat," a key source for Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, would solve one of the greatest political and journalistic mysteries of recent history.

The magazine said Felt, now a retiree living in Santa Rosa, California, had admitted his role in the scandal to his family and had cooperated with the story. It is the first time a major potential source has claimed to be "Deep Throat."

Wow. :shocked:

Fech, I still think it's Diane Sawyer. :laugh:

:laugh: :laugh:

I remember that guy who wrote a book in the 90's swore that it was George Bush Sr.

Oh puhleeze. :laugh: How anticlimactic would that be? Nope, I think it's Sawyer.

oh Diss, give over gracefully will ya? :laugh:

C'mon, how cool would it be to know that the lovely Diane Sawyer brought down the Nixon administration? It warms my cockles just thinking about it.

It's a lovely thought and would be a demonstration of feminine power which many (neo-cons and then some) don't even believe in.

More importantly, why has no one made even one of the millions of jokes that came into my head when I read the title of this thread?

Ah. It's pointless. We knew Le Stew would come forward eventually. :)

Just because I didn't make them, it doesn't mean I didn't think them. :xoxo:

:lol: :lol:
right. I couldn't say them, Oim a laidy, I am!

But we know you THOUGHT them.... :eek:

:laugh:
Yeah, me and every other 12 year old boy on this board...

Until Bob or Carl confirms it, which they've said they won't do til Deep Throat is dead, I'm not buying it. Maybe Buddy is just trying to get rich on the talk show circuit before he goes...

This has been a message from the Cynical Broadcasting Network.

Woodward just confirmed it.

Did he??? I just came back because I read on the wires that The Washington Post has confirmed it, but at that point, nothing from Bob or Carl. Where did he confirm? CNN? I want to see!!

Yes, CNN. They both confirmed it.

How unglamorous is this? :laugh:

I was hoping that we'd find out one day that it was someone shocking, but this...is anticlimactic.

More glamorous? You mean, like, it was Angie Dickinson, or Eartha Kitt, or Steve McQueen, that would be better? ooo, Jane Fonda!!!! :woohoo:

hmmm....that DOES present a different picture--what if he had lacy underwear? :eek:

Oh, Jane Fonda would KICK ASS. I love Fonda and to find out she was Deep Throat would make me orgasm. Take that, fundies!

On another note, Fonda, Tomlin, and Parton are making a sequel to 9 To 5! :thumbsup:

you have been orgasming quite a lot around here lately :wavey: :wavey:

That's right!! I hope it's just as good...that movie is soooo awesome..*sighs contentedly*

:laugh:

For some reason, that reminded me of Marv Albert. Scary visual.

I lurve Diane Sawyer and I'm so happy she's kicking Couric Ass. There's a great article in New York Magazine right now about the diva that is Couric and why people are flocking to Sawyer.

I can't help it, I'm a whore for Fonda. Her autobiography was fab, too, you should give it a go. And I just loved Monster-In-Law. :laugh:

I'm still waiting for Avon Ladies of the Amazon, the sequel to The First Wives Club. :laugh:

9 To 5 is one awesome flick. Hilarious!

:laugh: :laugh:
More than his fair share, I would say... :laugh:

No way!!! 9 To 5 is one of my favorite movies, I'd LOVE to see a sequel! I saw the Dolly Parton E! True Hollywood Story recently... it went into the making of 9 To 5 a bit... sounds like they all had a great time making the movie. :)
