According to MSNBC's Keith Olbermann, the mystery of Deep Throat may soon be solved.
Any speculation on who it might be? According to the report, it should be someone who is presently in seriously ill health.

Maybe a judge
Could Will Renquist have been in a position back then to have known about this stuff?

Re: Maybe a judge
I don't think so, LB. If I'm not mistaken Rehnquist was appointed and confirmed to SCOTUS in 1971. Prior to that I believe he had worked as a White House lawyer, so he might have had some inside knowledge of the case. But I don't think he would have known enough to have been Deep Throat, especially about the developments over the next 2 years. Remember, for example, that DT advised either Woodward or Burnstein about the 18 minute gap in one of the tapes. That was one of the last major developments in the case before Nixon resigned. It seems inconceivable to me that Rehnquist might have maintained a sufficiently intimate relationship with the Nixon White House after his appointment to SCOTUS. Such coziness between those two branches of government would probably have raised quite a few eyebrows.
I was just a kid at the time, though, so I could be wrong.

Well, there is one person who is supposedly one of the good guys - in fact, he's the current placeholder on earth of the best guy ever - and who is in ill health...

That sounds more like the dalai lama than anyone who might have worked in the Nixon White House.

Except that, to my knowlegde, the Dalai Lama is in excellent health.
The guy I was referring to is the Pope. Has the Pope ever worked in the White House? Of course not. Or has he? Has he? Is there something "they" don't want us to know? Naaah, never. Or is there? And what does Area 51 have to do with it? You think the Pope speaks with difficulty? Are you sure he isn't speaking in code for the aliens? But that's all BS, for sure. But is it really? Is it? Is it? Really?
O-oh, got to rush now. "They" are here. The fact that I'm paranoid doesn't mean "they" are not after me...

This is all so foolish. None of this could be true. You're forgetting about The Grassy Knoll.

Hahaha, you've been had, berberry. The Grassy Knoll, please! Didn't you know that was all just a ruse? "They" only want to attract attention to it in order to hide the fact that JFK was a ... robot! Yes, berberry, I kid you not: a robot. Just look at the Sapruder tape: that isn't blood and brains flying around, it's cooling fluid and sophisticated alien bio-computer parts. We are being controlled, you and I, doncha know?

No, no, no, Parasomnium! This is an evil trick cooked up by the Tri-Lateral Commission! You're only believing what the CIA wants you to believe.
I know this because the spirit of Ann Coulter speaks to me.
Wait a minute, wait a minute. I'm hearing something else now. Something about Algier Hiss. Hold on, I'll get back to you...

I think I ran across a blog or two that mentioned rumors of Bush Sr. being Deep Throat. I'm not up too much on Nixon politics, and I don't think that my current read of Thompson's "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72" counts either (though it's a damn interesting read!). So if anyone wishes to expound on that rumor of Bush Sr., I'd be very interested in reading your thoughts.

Fred Fielding
A Univeristy of Illinois journalism class has concluded that DT was John Dean's assistant Fred Fielding, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. This idea has been floated before and it's intriguing. I should think that some reporter somewhere is trying to find out what Mr. Fielding's current situation is, but I can't find anything on the net just now.
