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.
WHEW---I tried to reply to you, when I saw your post in the #2 post---but, by that time, the thread had been pulled!!!
LOL---I was going to post that most of the psychiatrists that I have met are looney tunes, themselves...but, gone, zotted by the wiley moderator!
Yeah, it wasn't there long, and for good reason.
One of my former friends had a similiar experience with Barbra Streisand, but she actually got to talk to her.
My former friend asked her about her being such an "expert on enviornmental matters" (which was how Streisand described herself).
Streisand said something to the effect of her being an expert and knowing so much because she donates alot of money to enviornmental groups.
My former buddy, who was really liberal, was also really disappointed in that response, and told me "basically, they feed her a line to get her dough, and because she knows their sales pitch really good, she thinks she is an expert, great".
Yeah and there was like 150 with the Clinton administration that were blatant as hell that you guys just completely ignored. Why no "All the Presidents men" for that guy Robert? All we got was a comedy with John Travolta.
Let the dumb blond jokes begin.
Ewww, no! Redford isn't one that has aged well. I haven't seen a picture of him in quite a while but the last one I saw, he looked like a prune face with blonde hair.
Don't get me started about these hollywood has-beens.

Yeah but he never went gray. That`s amazing, he must take vitamins.
Ever hear of hair dye ? Hehehe...
What do you mean, like dye for clothes?
Like ...yea !
You know, I figured we would see Saddam come out of a hole in the ground. I also figured the mooselimbs would crash planes into the WTC on 9/11. I also figured Michael Jackson would be found not guilty. And, my crowning achievement, I figured President Bush would beat Kerry in a highly contested election .
Redford can't hold a candle to me on figuring! What an amateur.
I agree. I respect the fact that he hasn'r had tons of plastic surgery and looks ten years old. But in that case, at least get rid of the 1960's surf dude / ski bum hair!
lol, who cares
what RR thinks.
"...there's about 15 issues as strong or as big as the Watergate break-in was that have come and died out,"
What a pinhead. I earnestly hope his millions have bought him many fine meals and some very expensive shellac on the walls of his ateries.
Well, I wouldn't call 3 weeks (or 20 some years depending on your perception) late keeping on top of the news. He probably heard about it from Barbarella Streisand.
In other news, Robert Redford figured that the Sundance Kid was a cowboy.
