If I recall, Felt actually was pretty senile and his lawyer did all the talking. Felt just sort of stood there and mumbled. I never did believe Deep Throat was one, real, person, and do not believe it today. I say DT was Woodward's way of getting a pastiche of anonymous tips and tantalizing insinuations into print. His subsequent career of fabricating stories, reading minds and making up quotations, and outright lying, backs me up.

He knew that sooner or later he would have to close out the DT scam and get himself off the spot, so he used a demented Felt for that purpose. One of the great liberal lies of the 20th century.

That is precisely what I have believed for years.

I was quite surprised when they trotted Felt out and he said he was the guy. I thought Deep Throat would ever be identified. But, I remain skeptical and doubt it is true.

A very plausible scenario. How many times have we caught the Drive-By Media just making it up as they go along?

Watergate was a media coup d’état.
