Deep Throat Hero At Last!
Well it's just unbelievable, and fabulous, Deep Throat is finally unmasked! Mark Felt, numero 2 at the FBI during the Watergate years did the yapping to Woodward and Bernstein, and thank goodness. Can you believe that the blowhards of the day, Pat Buchanan, Chuck Colson, Jeb MacGruder, and G Gordon Liddy (3 of whom went to jail) are declaring that Mr. Felt was a traitor and the villain of the day. GIVE ME A BREAK! What a load of horse crap...these are the same lunatics who followed order from on high of King Richard and were just peachy with the notion of using the FBI, and CIA to perform the Administrations bidding.
My personal favorite aspect was listening to some of the Nixon tapes, which has Nixon and Haldeman in the Oct 19, 1972 tape retorting:
Nixon: Somebody in the FBI?
Haldeman: Yes, sir. Mark Felt. You can't say anything about this because it will screw up our source and there's a real concern. Mitchell is the only one who knows about this and he feels strongly that we better not do anything because Â?
Nixon: Do anything? Never.
Haldeman: If we move on him, he'll go out and unload everything. He knows everything that's to be known in the FBI. He has access to absolutely everything ...
Nixon: What would you do with Felt?
Haldeman: Well, I asked Dean ...
Nixon: You know what I'd do with him, the bastard? Well that's all I want to hear about it.
Haldeman: I think he wants to be in the top spot.
Nixon: That's a hell of a way for him to get to the top.
Haldeman: You can figure a lot of--maybe he thought--first of all, he has to figure that if you stay in as president there's a possibility or probability Gray will stay on. If McGovern comes in, then you know Gray's going to be out ...
Nixon: Is he Catholic?
Haldeman: (unintelligible) Jewish.
Nixon: Christ, put a Jew in there?
Haldeman: Well, that could explain it too.
Nixon just warms my heart, yet again.
What's the process to award a Presidential Medal of Freedom, Felt deserves one, big time!
