WASHINGTON - Breaking a silence of 30 years, former FBI official W. Mark Felt stepped forward Tuesday as Deep Throat, the secret Washington Post source that helped bring down President Nixon during the Watergate scandal. Within hours, the paper ratified his claim. "It's the last secret" of the story, said Ben Bradlee, the paper's top editor at the time the riveting political drama played out three decades ago.

Yeah we heard about it all day long

Gee, I always heard "deepthroat's" real name was Linda.


Tracy...

Not that "Deep Throat" Tracy ... the other one!! (You know...Hal Holbrook.)

LOL...Doug. We really age ourselves admitting that we know about THAT "Deep Throat"...ya know ?


Tracy...

Ayup, that we do Tracy...that we do. There are though, worse things I suppose. In an odd way, there's a certain...oh I dunno...almost a "pride" you might say, in being able to reflect on things that are nowadays "ancient history" and yet at the same time be able to say (as Maurice Chevalier used to) "Ah yes... I remember it well."

The "Watergate summers" I remember particularly well, because the committee hearings were almost all that was on, all the time.

(The other "Deep Throat" I knew of by filthy repute. I think it was one of the few X-rated films I ever saw a television ad for!)

Yes, there's a lot of history happening in our lifetime!
I think of the fact that it was only a couple of decades before I was born that King Tut's tomb was found!

Imagine the stuff Lizbeth Borden lived through!

The Western world is still finding new species of animals on the planet!

I remember watching the trial that summer. I was spending time at my Grandmother's house...helping her with her yard. And you are right...the trials were about the only thing on. I do "remember it well".


Tracy...

Does anyone remember the old SNL skit with Steve Martin singing "King Tut... How'd he get so funky?"

Yes, Audrey, I saw that episode of SNL when it first aired. While Tracy and doug65oh were following politics I was watching the killer bees and the coneheads.

I has Steve Martin's albums, too.

They were looking at porn dear... (They are sick in that way)

How I miss SNL....

It's like my great, great grandmother, Hortense Rosannadanna used to say.....

We have Cosby albums, that's how old I am...

Well, I will have you know I STILL have a Roseann Rosannadanna t-shirt packed away in my basement...AND...I have THE SNL album...yes album..those old vinyl things ! I can recite most of the Point/Counterpoint, Emily Lietella, Roseann Rosannadanna, and Conehead skits ! Last time I was in NYC, one of THE things I HAD to do was do the NBC studio tour just so I could get a picture of the infamous 'door' from the original SNL set. I am SO SNL...infact, I think I wil go fix some fried chicken embryos for breakfast ! MEPS !


Tracy..

Cosby albums, Kat? You mean, as in "I was at home working in my basement when suddenly I heard a voice: 'Noah! It's...the Lord!'" (That one?)

...and I remember the "classic years" of SNL too, thank ya vettymuch!

The name of that Cosby album is "To Russell my brother, whom I slept with" I know it well.
