Just saw this article... very interesting.
http://frontburner2.dmagazine.com/ar...7885.html#moreI think I know who it is: Chief Justice William Rehnquist.....
Woodward has always said that he and Bernstein and Ben Bradlee won't ever reveal til he's dead. We're now told Deep Throat is quite "ill" and Bradlee says the obit's already written.
Rehnquist was a Deputy Attorney General in the "Office of Legal Counsel" from 1969-1972 under Nixon's Deputy AG, Richard Kleindienst. Rehnquist and Kleindienst were very good friends when both were lawyers in Phoenix, and Kleindienst recruited Rehnquist into the Justice Department when Nixon got elected. Rehnquist stayed three years and then Kleindienst pushed Nixon to appoint him to the Court, which happened in January of 1972. Just six months later AG John Mitchell resigned to head Nixon's re-election committee (CREEP), and Kleindienst replaced Mitchell as AG just five days before the June '72 Watergate break-in. Kleindienst resigned in 1973 along with Haldeman, Ehrlichman and Dean, but he and Rehnquist remained close.
So: we have Rehnquist in Washington throughout the relevant time frame, in the Nixon Justice Dept. for three years, presumably maintaining numerous contacts within the Administration even after he went to the Court in January '72, and he's quite ill right now. Seven of the eight clandestine meetings Woodward describes between himself & Deep Throat in the book "All The President's Men" took place on weekends, presumably a time when Rehnquist's duties to the Court would not interfere. Not only that, but the somewhat cryptic, elliptical, low-key style of speaking that Woodward attributes to Deep Throat in the book (and so memorably recreated in the movie by Hal Holbrook) eerily mirrors the manner in which Rehnquist speaks in real life.
Woodward, incidentally, had unprecedented access to the Supreme Court for his best-selling 1975 book, "The Brethren: Inside the Supreme Court"

Well I just wouldn't know what to think of him.

You're wrong. It's the Pope.
Nobody else liked watching Deep Throat?

Anybody know how Al Haig is feeling these days? Lately, smart money was on him as Deep Throat.
Back in the late 70s, Woodward revealed in his book The Bretheren that the Supreme Court used to have to screen any film that was part of an obscenity case. William O. Douglas used to boycott the screenings, as befit a First Amendment absolutist. The other justices used to attend and squirm uncomfortably throughout -- all except Thurgood Marshall, who used to bring popcorn and thouroghly enjoy himself.You just gave me a horrifying mental image of the Chief Justice

This is the third or fourth "Deep Throat" thread I've seen in the past week (multiple boards). Did something happen?
I didn't really like Deep Throat I just thought it was a funny joke given this thread's title.

The ironic thing was that the Democrats didn't really have anything on him and he won by a large margin. The Watergate break in was completely unnecessary and yielded no benefit.

According to Christopher Hitchens, Nixon was desperate to find out whether or not the Democrats were going to attack him for sabotaging the Paris Peace talks in '68, by telling the South Vietnamese to walk away since they'd get a better deal with him as President. Knowing that one way or another would have been valuable.
In fact, the Democrats did have that on him (according to Hitchens), back in 1968, but didn't use it for fear he would counter that the cessation of bombing was merely to get Humphrey elected (which it was). They were not, however, planning on using it.

And thus, the break in was unnecessary and yielded no benefit.

The attempt to produce Heaven on Earth often produces Hell. -Karl Popper
Why? After all, Nixon's scandel led to most of America realize the truth about their sleazy politicians.
“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)
What has that done for anybody? Politicians are still sleazy but now nobody seems to care.
Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi Wan's apprentice.
