Default 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."

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

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?

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

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.
