On first segment of GMA, Charlie Gibson reported that Bob Woodward told his former WaPost editors that Deep Throat is seriously ill.

This is important because "Woodstein" have always promised to reveal the identity of Deep Throat on his death.

Various rumors have circulated about the real name of the man who brought down the Nixon administration. Fred Fielding, Al Haig, L. Patrick Gray, even a young G.H.W.B. have all been mentioned, along with dozens of others.

There was even some specualtion that Deep Throat might have been former DOJ offical William Renquist.... and we all know he is ill.

The only other public persona known to be ill is the Pope.... and I think we can rule him out.,,, but of course someone else from that era might be ill without the public knowing about it.

So, will we soon know the identity of Deep Throat?

Stay tuned to your local FReeper station!

Stay tuned to your local FReeper station!

The trick will be to watch to see if Woodstein schedule a presser. They don't like other very much, so any joint appearance, article or announced book release would be a clue.

who cares, I mean who cares.....

[Hoodlum91]

I heard that most people will be "greatly disappointed" in the identity, meaning that it isn't someone of any importance.

Wouldn't that stink? After 30+ years of speculation....

[Reactionary]

I don't think "Deep Throat" exists.

[Glenn]

who cares, I mean who cares.....

You have to admit it has a real 'Who shot JR' feel to it.

Those of us who are of sufficient age are curious.

[Labyrinthos]

The only other public persona known to be ill is the Pope....

Gerald Ford is also ill.

>who cares, I mean who cares.....

Millions

It will lead to questions about who DT was talking to, did DT have any policy impacts, if it was Rehnquist, was appointment as CJ of SCOTUS a reward for "clandestine" service... or a reward for silence?

Many questions

Enquiring minds.....

[Coldwater Creek]

I have never liked Ford. I think that you may be on to something.

[mewzilla]

I don't think "Deep Throat" exists.

Ditto.

[MindBender26]

Don't know Woodward, but Bernstein insists he does. Said, reporter to reporter, "Hiding DT's identity is well within journalistic ethics. Claiming he exists if he did not is far outside them."

Plus, Woodstein were notthat good to be able to guess all that good stuff.

[Izzy Dunne]

Bill Clinton is also looking pretty bad sometimes.

[arthurus]

And how can a dead man prove he is NOT DT?

[Timeout]

I think WoodStein said the I.D. would occur in the deceased person's obituary as opposed to a presser or a big front page story.

Whatever, it'll be interesting to see all this play out...eventually.

[MindBender26]

But Ford was VP. How did he get away, repeatedly, from his USSC detail, etc?

In addition, Woodstein have said that DT signaled them to meet by moving a potted plant on his apartment balcony.

VP does not live in apartment.

?

[NotSoFreeStater]

I think he's made up as well.

[David1]

Gerald Ford is also ill. Could he be Deep Throat???

[Timeout]

What about Ruckelshouse? He was high up in DOJ at the time.
I haven't heard anything about him lately...is he ill?

[MindBender26]

Will be interesting, especially the ability to review other things DT did publicly.

[No Surrender No Retreat]

Ford was a bumbling stumbling loser who let carter beat him. NSNR

Could be but Ford was VP. How did he get away, repeatedly, from his USSC detail, etc?
