Suddenly DEEP THROAT isn't so sexy....

I've always held a sort of interest and facination with the presidency and persona of Richard Nixon. Old interviews, news footage, and films dealing with Nixon (and Watergate to a degree) have continued to hold an interest over the years.

For some choice fictional films on Nixon, the trinity would be Robert Altman's SECRET HONOR, Alan J. Pakula's ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, and St. Oliver Stone's NIXON. Honorable mentions go to the strange 1999 comedy DICK.

Woodward and Bernstein always said they would reveal the top-secret identity of their informant known as "Deep Throat" (named after a popular 1972 porno flick starring Linda Lovelace and Harry Reems) when he died. Well, the old codger beat them to the punch.

It's in essance his victory lap around the track. He's no spring chicken and will more than likely be pushing up the daisies any week now.

Setting the politics of Watergate and Nixon aside let's us see the real story here. That's on HELL of a well kept secret. I've always believed that two people can only KEEP a secret if one of them is dead.......I guess 3 can handle it until 1 of them gets damn close.
