Dean doesn’t disappoint those who marvel at his long record of unoriginal insights. But this news that Deepthroat is ill is very interesting. I don’t believe that Deep Throat really existed. And the fact that Woodward and Bernstein will pin the title on a dead man doesn’t really persuade me otherwise. Nonetheless, the fact that the man they’ll label as Deep Throat is ill is very interesting news. There are only so many candidates for the title right? Shouldn’t someone from the Washington Post or better yet the Washington Examiner or Washington Times be seeing who’s doing well and who’s not? Maybe get him on the record about why he isn’t Deep Throat so that this can’t be pinned on him? Or, since he’s dying, see if they can scoop the Post by getting a deathbed confession?
