Watergate Punditry

On fair and balanced Faux News, we have commentary by Chuck Colson; somewhere else in the liberal media, we have G. Gordon Liddy, Henry Kissinger, and Pat Buchanan denouncing Mark Felt/Deep Throat. The delicious irony is that all four are former nefarious Nixon neanderthals, only fifty percent of whom escaped indictment, conviction, and jail time for their government activities. Now they, without any reminders of their burglary/conspiracy activities, are allowed to defame and denigrate a man who helped expose those cynical, power-drunk excesses of term II Nixonites (Get ready for the Bush II escapades, which will probably make the Watergate pranksters look like pikers!).

To whom might Felt have reported his inside knowledge? Maybe John Mitchell, who later served 19 months for his role in the Watergate cover-up! Who was the acting FBI director at the time? L. Patrick Grey, III, who had worked in the Nixon campaign in 1960. These were the people who designed, executed, and tried to conceal Watergate! How predictable that today the Nixon survivor/pundits would think of Felts as not a nice person! On the other hand, where would we be today without Deep Throat? Two full terms of Nixon? Much of what the Bushcovites are trying to accomplish might already be in place! Thank you, Mark Felt!

Where are our fair and balanced newshounds? Shouldn't they be reminding us about Colson, Liddy, and company and their obvious motives instead of just letting them defame Felt/Deep Throat?
