Just in on ABC News. He and his family admit it through his lawyer. Will be in upcoming Vanity Fair.
What article did you link about Woodward?
BUMP. Also, didn't W or B claim that DT chain smoked cigs?
Too many differing statements and claims.
Thus far, MF seems just a bit too convenient -- what with his feebleness and sporadic dementia.

Yes
They were wrong on his drink of choice.
They were wrong that he had no other way to address what he thought was wrong.
This whole thing stinks, and makes us wonder why now?
Look! Jim gave Deep Throat its own category at the top of the Latest Posts page!! Yeah!!!!
Great!
I learned a LOT from that link. Best to save it and keep it handy. We might be in the verge of tripping up MF and W&B and the WR too.
Guess the players never figured the holy media would ever be outed as frauds, and viewed by the public with such distain.
Timing is everything,,, so I wonder why now? Is a Clinton in trouble?
I'm with you on that one
But for the life of me .. I just can't figure out what and why
Wrong on the drink too? Not scotch?
W'll need to keep on this and compile our own lists of "gotcha's" -- thus far, the thang stinks, IMO.
The mediots out here in N California are going ballistic over this.
This thing is starting to smell like the Mapes/Rather/CBS bs re GW and his Air National Guard service.
Look up Southack's reply on this thread or one of them. He had several lies they told us for decades about Deepthroat.
Clinton accused of raping nurse in new book

Former US President BILL CLINTON has been accused of raping a nurse, in a shocking new book.
Lawyer CANDICE E JACKSON was so disgusted Clinton virtually ignored his infidelities in his bestselling autobiography MY LIFE, she wrote THEIR LIVES - THE WOMEN TARGETED BY THE CLINTON MACHINE, to expose several women she claims he sexually abused.
Jackson's controversial tome focuses on seven women, including Clinton's alleged mistress, GENNIFER FLOWERS, radio host SALLY PERDUE, White House intern MONICA LEWINSKY and the alleged rape victim, JUANITA BROADDRICK.
Broaddrick says she met Clinton - then the Arkansas Attorney General - in 1978, when he made a campaign stop at the nursing home where she worked.
And she alleges he asked if he could have a coffee with her in her hotel room to avoid reporters, but when she let him in, he reportedly forced her onto the bed and raped her.
She claims she met him again in 1991, weeks before he announced his Democratic Party candidacy for Presidency, and attempted a profuse apology - he later gave her a position on a state quango concerned with nursing homes.
Broaddrick told Jackson, "It was a really panicky situation. I was even at the point where I was getting very noisy, you know, yelling to please stop.
And that's when (Clinton) pressed down on my right shoulder and he bit my lip.
"When everything was over with, he got up and straightened himself, and I was crying at that moment. He walked to the door and calmly put on his sunglasses.
And before he went out the door, he said, 'You'd better put some ice on that.'"

Yeah , he pinged me to his list.. excellent work by southack as always.
They must think their Nixon scandal trumps our Clinton scandal. It doesn't. Theirs is OLD NEWS. Ours is NEW NEWS (well to most people). lol!
Nixon is dead. Hillary isn't. Nixon isn't running for President, Hillary is. We win.

This book should be at the top of the NYT Best Seller List!!
Why Did Bob Woodward Lunch With Mark Felt in 1999?
Was it to ask if he could unmask Deep Throat?
By Timothy Noah
Posted Thursday, May 2, 2002, at 7:29 PM PT
As Chatterbox noted yesterday, the best guess going about the identity of Deep Throat, Bob Woodward's crucial but anonymous Watergate informer, has long been W. Mark Felt, assistant director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In his haste to write yesterday's item, Chatterbox failed to chase down a tip he'd received (apparently first published in the Globe tabloid) that Woodward actually had lunch with Felt within the last few years. Today's Washington Times explains (in its "Inside the Beltway" column) that this information comes from a new book by Ronald Kessler, The Bureau: The Secret History of the FBI, due to be published next week. Like James Mann, who published the definitive Deep Throat piece 10 years ago in the Atlantic, Kessler worked at the Post during Watergate (he left in 1985), though Chatterbox doesn't know whether Kessler, like Mann, will speak out of school about what Woodward told colleagues at the time. Here, according to the Washington Times, is how Kessler relates the story of the Woodward-Felt lunch:
In the summer of 1999, [Bob] Woodward showed up unexpectedly at the home of Felt's daughter, Joan, in Santa Rosa, California, north of San Francisco, and took him to lunch, Joan Felt, who was taking care of him at her home, told me.
She recalled that Woodward made his appearance just after a mini-controversy broke in the press late July 1999 about whether Bernstein had told his then-wife, Nora Ephron, that Felt was Deep Throat. Woodward had been interviewing former FBI officials for a book he was writing on Watergate.
However, now confused because of the effects of a stroke, Felt was in no shape to provide credible information. Joan said her father greeted Woodward like an old friend, and their mysterious meeting appeared to be more of a celebration than an interview, lending support to the notion that Felt was, in fact, Deep Throat.
"Woodward just showed up at the door and said he was in the area," Joan Felt said. "He came in a white limousine, which parked at a schoolyard about 10 blocks away. He walked to the house. He asked if it was OK to have a martini with my father at lunch, and I said it would be fine."
A few caveats are in order. Chatterbox interviewed Felt in the summer of 1999, too, and found him fairly lucid, if annoyed to be asked once again if he was Deep Throat. (Maybe he had his good days and his bad days.) If Woodward was interviewing former FBI officials for a new book about Watergate, that would of course provide ample justification for Woodward to seek out Felt, even if Felt wasn't Deep Throat. (Felt was, after all, the No. 3 guy at the FBI during Watergate.) In 1999, Felt denied to Chatterbox that he was Deep Throat, just as Felt denied it, more recently, to Kessler (with the difference being that by the time Kessler asked him, Felt apparently had difficulty remembering exactly who Bob Woodward was).
Still, the timing is intriguing. When Woodward came calling, Felt had just been the subject of a flurry of stories about Chase Culeman-Beckman, a 19-year-old from Port Chester, N.Y., who'd revealed to the Hartford Courant that Bernstein's son, Jacob, 11 years earlier had blurted out at summer camp that Deep Throat was W. Mark Felt. (Click here for the full story.) Carl Bernstein and his ex-wife, Nora Ephron, quickly stepped in to explain that Bernstein had never told his wife or son Deep Throat's identity and that Ephron had just always guessed it to be Felt. But Ephron's intuition on this matter has to carry some weight, and it seems logical that in the aftermath of this awkward episode, Woodward would have felt the need to explore with Felt whether it was time to reveal their secret. Based on what the Washington Times passed on from Kessler's book, though, Kessler's evidence is not dispositive.

Maybe not. The FBI may see Felt as a hero.
When Hoover died in 72 he had over a period of nearly five decades built up the organization from zip, and filled its ranks with men acceptable to him.
To the FBI, Presidents were just temporary and Hoover's FBI was permanent in his mind. Hoover had outlasted every President since Coolidge. He fought with and fended off the Kennedys and Johnson, and they believed they would survive Nixon too.
The FBI saw itself as independent and outside the control of the White House. Remember, the FBI did not get a new leader with each new President. The tradition was thrown into question at the time of Hoover's death.
" Officials at the FBI believed that Hoover's successor would be appointed from within.
W. Mark Felt, wrote this in a 1979 memoir, The FBI Pyramid:
It did not cross my mind that the President would appoint an outsider to replace Hoover. Had I known this, I would not have been hopeful about the future. There were many trained executives in the FBI who could have effectively handled the job of Director. My own record was good and I allowed myself to think I had an excellent chance.
While Hoover's body was lying in state in the Capitol Rotunda, Asst. Attorney General L. Patrick Gray III appeared at FBI headquartrs and asked to see Hoover's secret filees. FBI officials refused, they told him there were no such documents, and got in each others faces, right there, then Gray left.
It was only few hours later that Gray was appointed by the Nixon Administration to be the FBI's director.
I understand that some in the organization never forgave Nixon for bringing in an outsider into their realm. Grudges in organizations like this, are held tight and run deep.
Thanks for posting this onyx! This was referenced in the American Spectator "American Prowler" section of the American Spectator website.
Thanks, I like your #569.
Interesting questions remain cloaked in secrecy.
It'll take the cohorts a week or so to get a game plan for all.
Timing is always important and this timing is giving me fits.
