deep throat revealed!
The author of the 1993 biography of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, “Deep Truth,” today named George H.W. Bush the new chief suspect as famed Watergate source Deep Throat.

The “outing” was timed to the opening of the two reporters’ Watergate archives at the University of Texas.

The author of several books for major publishers, Adrian Havill says his claim is based on recent events and his own research at the the National Archives. He announced the “finding” in a letter posted at the Romenesko site at the Poynter Institute.

2. When Pappy Bush goes on to his reward...
...ALL KINDS OF THINGS will be revealed.

I do not believe that the world can EVEN GUESS regarding the depths of this man's evil.

He'll be in Hell, we'll buy the tell-all book.

3. Logical.......and great strategy if true.
Nixon crashes in shame to open the gates to a neocon takeover of the GOP.

5. If you read the article that you included in the post, the "evidence"..
cited is quite flimsy and speculative. The Bush-as-Deep-Throat theory has obvious holes, the biggest being that Bush was not in Nixon's "inner circle" at the time (or ever).

If so, it's been kept pretty quiet.

7. According to the la times deep throat is sick.
http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/sunday/commentary/la-op-sources6feb06,0,3062317,print.story?coll=la-sunday-commentary

Is GHW Bush sick? Looks pretty healthy to me. So assuming the story is accurate...yeah.

10. My guess is HENRY KISSINGER
It all fits. He's ill now, isn't he? Nixon was known to be a closet anti-Semite. You know Henry couldn't stand it. What better way to get back at the evil bigot than to expose his dirty deals to the press?

11. Turning on Nixon, not for the good of the country
but for your own selfish reasons...Sounds like something a Bush would do. (Maybe Babs made him do it.)

12. Re-read all the material. Someone convince me is isn't Fred Fielding.
I think those students did a hell of a job proving it was Fred Fielding.
What am I missing?

13. Not only the students' work, but Woodward and Bernstein's reactions, also
I'm also convinced it is Fielding.

18. If it is Fred Fielding, that won't be huge news. Not many people even
know the name. It would only be big to DC insiders.

16. Well, no one's gonna know for sure
until Poppy buys the farm. But it would be so sweet to see the repugs turn on him. Maybe even taint the rest of the clan. But that's just wishful thinking.

19. Bernstein has claimed that the casting of "DT" in the movie was spot-on,
physically, behaviorally, and ESPECIALLY vocally.

Hal Holbrook in the flick.

Think about that a few moments.
