Deep Throat revealed? (Keith Olbermann)



SECAUCUS— The greatest mystery of 20th Century American politics may soon be solved.

We might shortly find out who "Deep Throat" was.

John Dean, the former White House Counsel to Richard Nixon, whose testimony unlocked the enigma and the insidiousness of Watergate, wrote in The Los Angeles Times that an impeccable source has informed him that “Throat” is in ill health, that Bob Woodward has notified his colleagues at The Washington Post of this fact, and that an obituary has been prepared— almost certainly identifying the man behind the pseudonym.

John Dean will join me exclusively on Countdown tonight (Monday the 7th) to discuss what he’s learned— and how the roster of candidates may have been re-shaped by simple dint of the illness of one of the names on it.

1. Coincedence?

Is it mere coincedence that the Pope is ill just now?

:+ Just clowning around.

However, I am far more interested in finding out who the NEXT deepthroat will be?

[ArkDem]

2. Deepthroat was a literary device.

[LoZoccolo]

3. They've denied it was a composite in like 2002. n/t

7. Deny all they want, Robert F. Bennett lied to them in the beginning

From Bob Harris' article 'Deep Throat'

""What's missing is an understanding of Deep Throat, Woodward's garage-lurking source who guided the reporters to some of their biggest leads. If he was just a concerned citizen, great. But if Deep Throat had his own agenda, then he used the Washington Post to shape the story for his own purposes and got away clean.

"I have told Woodward everything I know about the Watergate case, except the Mullen Company's tie to the CIA."--Robert F. Bennett, testifying before House Special Committee on Intelligence, July 2, 1974.

Robert Bennett was the head of Robert R. Mullen and Co., a CIA front headquartered in the very same building as the CIA's Domestic Operations Division. The Mullen Co. did legitimate PR work; it also did PR for other CIA fronts and provided cover abroad for CIA operations. Bennett's most notable employee was Howard Hunt, a former chief of covert actions for the Domestic Operations Division of the CIA.""

This is, ahem, now SENATOR Robert F. Bennett, R-UT, today.

16. Deep Throat hunt is a political Snipe Hunt ! Sen Robert F. Bennett

who headed Mullen & Co. back then should know.

[Ivote]

17. He Voted For Gonzalez The Other Day

So I don't think it's him
But I was wondering if it could be that guy from the swift boat ads (john O'neal) sp
He fits some of the items that were posted on another thread.
Military, close to the Nixon White House, I think it's around the same years that watergate was going on with the Viet Nam protests
I'm not excluding the other people on the list except Bennet unles he had an accident or something over the weekend.
I hope whoever it is he's in a coma or something, I wouldn't want to be hearing or reading that everyone is speculating when I am going to die and that it is very soon.

20. Read about what Bob Bennett did back in '71-73 for the CIA

www.metroactive.com/papers/ sonoma/07.03.97/scoop-9727.html

and look into Bob Woodwards' own navy intelligence background

[CTyankee]

18. If that is true

why all the fuss about DT being near death? It makes no sense for John Dean to go on about this otherwise. What would be his reason?

[Ivote]

19. Dean Was Told That DT was Near Death

And The Washington Post has DT's obit ready.
Maybe it's been ready for years, just needed a date to finalize it

[DUgosh]

4. speculation... whom is ill umongst the Connies

[AlCzervik]

5. Rehnquist-thats my bet

[paula777]

6. Rehnquist does make sense, and he is quite ill. I think you got something

[grumpy old fart]

8. Why would Dean need a "source" to tell him about Rehnquist's illness?

[sabra]

9. The extent of the illness?

They did mention something about an obituary?

[sandnsea]

11. Bob Dole n/t

[Ivote]

21. Speculation

Dole havent seen him lately
Ford wasn't at the inaugeration or SOTU
Rhenquist throat cancer
that we know of

But if you ask me I think they are all sick one way or another

[crispini]

10. Damn, I'm falling down on the job.

An Olbermann thread with none of these? :loveya: Sheesh, I'm becoming a complete slacker.

and, for the record, my money's on Rehnquist.

[sabra]

14. We here actually care for the content of his blog. LOL

I am sure you can still start one of your KOEB threads tonight!

[crispini]

15. Oh, yes, I'm all about the content, too, of course,

but, ya know, these? :loveya: each Olbermann thread's gotta have at least one. :evilgrin:

and, HEY, I actually put some on-content topic into that post for once. :D

[rniel]

12. Deep Throat is Pope John Paul II

It all adds up now. He is ill after all.
