Deep Throat

As you may know, Deep Throat turns out to have been W. Mark Felt. This information was revealed yesterday. Once again, we at Make Me a Commentator!!! live up to our commitment to bring you yesterday's news! This dates back to our founder, old Silas Tecumsah Commentator!!! who made a pretty penny selling yesterday's papers to the simple rustic folk of Richardsville.

Anyway enough obscure levity. The New York Times has an editorial on the revelation of deep throats identity.

Although serious students of the scandal that toppled the Nixon administration always considered Mr. Felt a prime candidate, it was more fun - although deeply unrealistic - to imagine that the mysterious figure who kept stepping out from behind the shadows to feed information to the reporter Bob Woodward was a famous face like Alexander Haig or Henry Kissinger. You don't read a mystery to find out that the answer to the central riddle is the guy who had a walk-on part on Page 143.

And that's pretty much how I feel about it too. Still it's nice to know. I guess.
