SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Robert Redford, who played Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward in "All the President's Men," said he used to speculate on who Deep Throat was and had figured "it probably had to do with the FBI."
Redford said the revelation that former Deputy FBI Director Mark Felt was the secret source who helped the Post report on Watergate has him "waiting to see if anybody is going to connect where we were then and where we are now."
"You can go right down the line (in the Bush administration), there's about 15 issues as strong or as big as the Watergate break-in was that have come and died out," Redford said last week.
He cited the search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and the "Downing Street memo" which suggested Bush's officials tweaked intelligence to support their invasion plans.
"There are guys out there digging and digging. There are stories appearing every single day," he said. "But is it getting any traction with the public?"
Redford said he once asked Woodward who Deep Throat was, but the reporter would not tell him.
"Some part of me did not want it to come out, because it was this great piece of melodrama in the middle of this movie," he said.
It was 33 years ago Friday - June 17, 1972 - that burglars broke into the Democratic National Committee's offices in the Watergate Hotel in Washington.
NOT!!!
Shoot, I guess we shoulda just asked him years ago...NITWIT.
Let's ask him about JFK.
He couldn't find his as...butt in a mirror. I think he's finally shorting out from that scene in Electric Horseman.
Maybe he knows where Osama is ... like, up at the Sundance Lodge, huh?
I sent that Jerk money to follow through on his promise to move to Ireland. What a dirtbag!
I'd rather he tell us something more revealing, something with heavy gravitas,...like who shot J.R.?
Let's ask him about Bill Clinton.
Robert, you ain't that smart, and you ain't a heartthrob anymore, haven't been for years. Bitter much?
"You can go right down the line (in the Bush administration), there's about 15 issues as strong or as big as the Watergate break-in was that have come and died out," Sounds like a bitter old has-been to me. You're a loon.
Everything is Watergate and Vietnam to all too many of those deep feeling people. Time marches on, but, they don't seem to move at all.
Then he got to bash the CIA in "3 Days of the Condor" and "Spy Game."
Then he got to glorify communism in "Havana". My...isn't he the patriot.
Did I see you agreeing with that idiot troll that started that thread, saying he was a psychiatrist and that he has diagnosed President Bush, a "dry drunk" and that he had definitely gone crazy?
I know I've been waiting for this doofus to weigh in. I feel better knowing that he was, again, right. /s
LOL! Yeah, right. No, I was IN BEFORE THE ZOT! Kinda like a Sioux warrior counting coup before the kill.
Yeah-wow if only we had known he was the oracle. Now maybe he will decipher the mysteries of the Mayan calendar on his next coffee break.
Wow....is HE an intelligent Monday morning quarterback!
Redford is a scrawny little shrimp! A coworker of mine went to an investment seminar in AZ a couple weeks ago and Redford was the guest speaker. All he spoke about was his active rolls in environmentalism.........Wish I could have been there so I could have gotten up and walked out.
Pretty heavy dialogue coming from a dude who owns his own ski resort.........
Spoken by a self centered, small minded, shriveled man.
