Sorry for the busy subject line.

Hopefully people are going to learn/relearn what the RW has been trying desperately to ignore while they were canonizing Reagan. We'll see.

The unmasking of ``Deep Throat,'' an anonymous source who helped the Washington Post, has sparked renewed interest in the scandal that led to the downfall of Richard Nixon's presidency. Netflix said rentals of the 1976 movie about the scandal, ``All the President's Men,'' have increased 1,153 percent in the 24 hours since it was revealed that former FBI official W. Mark Felt told Vanity Fair magazine that he was ``the guy they used to call Deep Throat.''

On Amazon.com, the book shot up to 26th on the bestseller list yesterday. On Barnesandnoble.com, it was ranked 43rd.

Book sales have spiked, too. Until this week, the book ranked somewhere above 17,000 on Barnes & Noble's Web site, which is respectable for a 30-year-old title. Starting Wednesday, however, it shot up the list, and by yesterday afternoon, it had reached 39 and was closing in on Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code."




Oh yeah and this too

However, a clerk at the Hamilton Adult Video Club in Trenton reported brisk rentals and sales of "Deep Throat," the infamous 1972 porn flick that the Washington Post appropriated for Felt's nickname, and its sundry sequels.

"It's a popular movie," said the clerk, who would only give his first name, Dave. "I don't even know what 'All The President's Men' is."

1. Fun with statistics

If the rentals were one a day for the movie and they increased 1,153%, then they would go to 11 and one half per day.

2. That's true

but I think over all (as the article states) there is a lot of interest right now.
