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.
.....could it possibly be.....Chief Justice Renquist?????
How is Lewinsky doing these days?
Most people only think of Watergate whenever Nixon is mentioned, but his record was a very good one in spite of Watergate and fighting a democratic congress. His opening in China and Russia strategy, He was well on the way to solving the Viet Nam Mess caused by Kennedy and Johnson when the protesters led by Fonda, Kerry, and the democrats forced his hand. On domestic issues, Nixon won many battles with the congress to limit the size of the federal government. I recall Nixon not spending all the budget allocated to the administration and returning some of it at the end of the fiscal year (no other modern president has done that). Nixon also initiated "block grants" to the states to return some of the money and functions that belong at the state level back to the states. Nixon ran a tight ship and that's what got him in the end. But make no mistake about it, Nixon turned this country around and laid the ground work for the United States as you now see it, IMHO.
I believe the source of this 'rumor' is Uberliar John Dean.
Who spent quite a bit of time pimping his book about 'Deep Throat' a couple of years ago. As I recall, after the bloviating he hasn't come up with an answer yet.
You'll probably never hear about it again.
Then again, Woodward/Bernstein might be preparing to post-humously slime the reputation of a respectable public figure.
You were sickened by it?
Did you throw up when Uberliar John Dean got a slap on the wrist?
Or when you found out that HE was the brains behind the break-in?
"David Gergen"
He also has a very deep voice.
You know, I respect a lot about RMN, but you have to admit that he set the cause back quite a bit with his cover-up debacle.
Did you forget the massacre of the November 1974 elections? And the 'Rat supermajorities that overrode all of Ford's vetoes '75-'76, gave up South Vietnam to the enemy, emasculated the FBI and CIA (it took 9/11 to fully reap the consequences of that action), and the short ascendancy of Jimmuh 'Ahlnevuhlietoyou' Carter?
Yeah, that last one got RR elected for sure, but we are still living with the excesses of the liberal 70s legislation passed in the shadow of Watergate (just as we are still haunted by the excesses of another artificial 'Rat supermajority Congress, '65-'66, created by the tragedy of the Kennedy assassination).
Just a little balance.
Cordially, Al
Diane Sawyer was an intern during the Nixon Administration.
"I'm old enough to remember the whole thing, watched all the hearings live, am familiar with all the characters, was sickened as, bit by bit, the nastiness of the Nixon administration came to light."
Tell me, please, was the Nixon administration any nastier than the Clinton administration with the Waco massacre, Vince Foster's "suicide", Lewinski's in the Oval Office, Whitewater, approximately 1000 FBI files(enemies list), numerous items exposed by Gary Aldrich in UNLIMITED ACCESS, Hillary's missing financial records that mysteriously reappeared, wholesale termination of US Attorneys in order to pack the federal courts, plus other examples of nastiness and corruption ad infinitum? Nixon at least had the decency to resign the office prior to impeachment proceedings-where was Clinton's decency and lack of nastiness?
If you are old enough to remember Nixon's nastiness, logic dictates you're old enough to remember the Clinton Administration.
Not if Jedidah was doped up to the hilt like the Klintons!
(Please note: I am NOT accusing Jedidah of using drugs and I don't have ANY intention to imply it. I was just using that as an example of how someone might NOT remember the Klinton years.)
No, why? Is he on fire?
actually, while laws schools teach 'em to lie to one person at a time, journalism schools teach you to lie to everybody at the same time.
Well, he WOULD qualify for the deep throat monicker (or should that be Monica?).
It's funny because it's true!
I am Jedidah's attorney, and we're suing.
Will Woodward try for a last death bed interview with Deep Throat, as he claimed he had with William Casey?
LOL
I was shocked at how bad he looked. Wow!
Deep Throat was a smoker I believe.
