He wrote that Felt's daughter Joan, who persuaded her 91-year-old father to go public as "Deep Throat," lamented that the Post's Bob Woodward would get all the credit - and profit - if Felt went to the grave with his secret.

"We could make at least enough money to pay some bills like the debt I've run up for the kids' education," she told Felt, according to the article. "Let's do it for the family."

This daughter is a piece of work. It was plain in her demeanor yesterday that she thought she had hit the jackpot.

Setting aside the content of the story, it did involve Woodward and her father. That she's trying to horn in on what she perceives as a cash cow shows how thoughtless she is as to what this means to this country.

Not to argue one way or another but what does it mean to the country?

Whatever else he did - he should have paid more attention to the raising of his daughter.

Just what kind of an education, that she has yet to pay for, did she give these kids?

"That she's trying to horn in on what she perceives as a cash cow shows how thoughtless she is as to what this means to this country."

My liberal, Clinton-kneepad-wearing, mother-in-law has always been a good barometer for me to determine what the typical, naive, Washington Post-reading, MSNBC-watching Democrat is thinking. Unfortunately, the M-I-L is just as excited as the lottery-winning Felt daughter. She is beside herself and giddy at the realization that she got to find out who Deepthroat was before she dies. She has taken her phone off the hook and set up two TVs in one room with a remote in each hand so she can catch every talking head show she can find. She has been out to various newstands to get copies of the NYTimes, The LATimes, The Washington Post, you name it.

I can't be positive but I thought I heard her reviewing her plans to go down to her favorite newstand at Barnes & Noble with a couple of friends and some sleeping bags and pull an all-nighter so they can be first in line when the new Time Magazine comes out. You think I'm kidding?
