Deep Throat Close to Death

Deep Throat Close to Death It appears the Watergate source known as "Deep Throat" may be close to death, and that means that individuals name may be made public for the first time.

Reporter Bob Woodward has said in the past that he would disclose the identity of the course when that person died. Deep Throat helped Woodward and the Washington POst expose the Nixon Water gate scandal.

The Washington Post has already prepared an obituary, which means the world may soon know the secret Woodward has managed to keep for 30-years.

If you haven't read it already, read Silent Coup by Len Colodny. G. Gordon Liddy has said it's about as close to the truth of Watergate as you're going to get.

I don't know your original question. When you ask a question it is incumbent on you to quote whatever you're questioning. Otherwise, it can end up in Abbot and Costello jokes.

"But poor Deep Throat will be dead, and we'll have only Bob Woodward's word to believe. Woodward is well known for his docu-fictions, in which he's claimed things based "on at least two or more witnesses", when these witnesses had to have been imaginary in a great many cases"."Costello: You gonna be the coach too"?

Does/did Pres. Ford smoke?
____________________________

He smoked a pipe while in Congress and as President, but don't know if he ever quit post-presidency. If you count pipe smoking as "smooking." Mostly pipe smokers can't keep the thing lit for more than five seconds at a time.

"Rehnquist was an assistant attorney general, very much in the loop, during the Watergate investigation. He certainly had access to inside information. ... Woodward and Bernstein have said repeatedly that Deep Throat was prominently placed in the executive branch. Rehnquist is in the judicial branch."

Is and Was. Rehnquist *was* in the Executive Branch as Ast. Aty. General, but now *is* in the Judicial Branch as Supreme Court Justice.

Anyone who's been paying attention to this controversy over the years knows exactly who "Deep Throat" is/was.

It was *@(%#!>&$=^]?/-*_...-!, obviously.

Gee, that's funny...my keyboard seems to have malfunctioned right at the critical juncture. ;-)

"I think Deep Throat, whoever he is, will leave an explanation for his actions to be published after his death. And his intentions were most likely honorable, an attempt to put pressure on Nixon to clean up the mess while he still could."

Oddly enough, both the far Right and far Left hated President Nixon...both sides had motives to get rid of him, and after the fallout and government escapades of post-JFK-1963, non-violent action was selected this time.

The far Left hated Nixon for exposing Alger Hiss, his enemies' list, and representing Rockefeller wealth/power; the far Right hated him for Affirmative Action, the EPA, Wage and Price Controls, getting us out of Vietnam, ending the Draft, Opening up China, etc.

So the Commies and the anti-Commies, from peacenik socialists to John Birchers, all had an axe to grind against President Nixon.

That's why that 18 minutes of erased White House tape recording was important...because it may have been that *nothing* of importance was on those 18 minutes...but rather that the tape was erased merely to plant suspicious evidence.

"Bob Hope actually survived the author of his obituary in the New York Times."

That's beautiful.
