Recently the news announced that the person leaking information to the press during the Watergate scandal had identified himself as the "DEEP THROAT" - the heart of the scandal and chief source of information. Well, to all our surprise it was revealed that is a now 90 year old man by the name of W. MARK FELT, a former FBI agent during the 1970's.
WHAT?? You mean to tell me after all these years that DIANE SAWYER is not "DEEP THROAT"? Damn! And I thought she got the job at GOOD MORNING AMERICA just coz she "knew" some stuff and had some stuff on someone and stuff!
Can you imagine holding this info for all these years and the poor old guy almost dying without becoming a full fledged hero for this US of A!! I remember the day Nixon got on that presidential plane - waved that famous (or infamous) saludatory wave at the world one last time, and he was history. All coz of a little breakin in a little joint called WATERGATE and the tapes that got erased and everything. THOSE WERE THE DAYS MY FRIEND- WE THOUGHT THEY'D NEVER END!
I remember my oldest daughter was just a little baby and the TV was tied up for weeks of interviews, acquistions, NO BARNEY OR SESAME STREET to entertain her during the trial of the century!
We thought breakins were scandalous - fast forward 25-30 years to the real scandal of the century - THE ALMOST IMPEACHMENT OF FORMER PRESIDENT WILLIAM J. CLINTON AND "MONICA-GATE"! WHEW - how times have changed.
I tell you - there is just something in the water over there in Washington, DC - those darn presidents and the fun times they get to have - I TELL YOU!
