I was Deep Throat

I don't know who this "W. Mark Felt" guy thinks he is, claiming to have been Deep Throat of Watergate fame. I was Deep Throat, damnit. Or at least I always thought it would be cool to be that guy.

I may have only been 9 years old at the time that Deep and Bob Woodward were having their clandestine meetings and exchanging information about the Nixon administration and the Watergate cover up. But, I knew more than probably most 9 year olds about the whole ordeal. I probably could have at least carried on an intelligent conversation about the scandal.

I was actually kind of sad yesterday when I heard that the Deep Throat mystery had finally been solved. Kind of like when the Red Sox won the World Series - it's the end of a long era. The fun was in speculating when the era would end and the mystery would be revealed. Actually knowing the answer now seems so anticlimactic.

Now I guess I'll have to turn my attention to who actually killed Vince Foster.
