"YEEEEAAAAAAGH!"....oh wait, wrong Dean.
Wronf Dean..more likely Maureen (Mo).anybody that could pull her hair back that tight in a bun obviously has a wild side..
Dean is still attacking republicans. And the fact that the MSM continually disses the idea that Dean might be DT is even more confirmation that it must be him.
There was something about her, wasn't there?
Why would Dean leak information that would later lead to his own imprisonment? This is silly. Surely he would have confessed to being Deep Throat in an effort to gain sympathy during sentencing.
Oh, yeah..she sat behind him first row....pure steel...didn't she end up running an escort service or something after they got divorced? I may try and Google her tonite, during the NCAA's
Fish said the same should hold true for Bill Clinton, who was acquitted by the Senate in his impeachment trial resulting from lying under oath about his affair with Monica Lewinsky.
Nixon purjured himself. But Clinton "lied under oath".
Even this republican can't see the two actions as the same.
And did Nixon actually lie under oath? I didn't think he ever gave sworn testimony.
Dean had already cooperated in order to get his sentence reduced. With Ford in the WH, I wouldn't doubt that he wouldn't want to cop to his identity in public in the hope of reducing his sentence more. That might have done the opposite. There were many of us back then who were mad as hell that Nixon had been run out of town by the lefties who never did like the fact that he had been a commie hunter and McCarthy cohort back in the 50's.
And the fact that Dean's girl friend was a hooker might have made the handle "Deep Throat" awfully appropriate. Woodward has said he didn't want to name DT because he might be embarrased by the name.
don't think it is Dean......didn't fit the profile and didn't they say DT was very sick......even so, Dean makes for a nice "TRAITOR"
Makes you wonder what Woodward and Bernstein were doing when they got the information from DT.
Maybe it was all just pillow talk and we've only assumed all these years that DT was a man.
BTW, Clinton can never be considered a Great President but this distinction has nothing to do with his admitted Perjury and lying. There are plenty of other reasons to keep him off the list of Great Presidents and his lying only reinforces that conclusion.
I have always felt that dean was "Deep Throat". I had read the book Slient Coup and it showed that dean was a backstabbing little toady who would do anything to advance his career. He did not count on the outrage that the dims & the Country had felt after words. I think that he had leaked the information in order to deflect any attn. away from himself. I have listened to the Gman on several occasions, & he has stated that if he had gotten the call to remove dean from this world he would have gladly done it!
Nixon was the 2nd greatest president of the 20th century, right behind Ronaldus Magnus.
I'm sure he didn't think he'd go to prison over it, whoever he might have been. If it was Dean, think about this: Would you rather go to prison, or have G. Gordon Liddy rip out your "Deep Throat"? Hmmm?
Nixon was nuts, John Dean was slime.
Furthermore, Nixon was covering for his staff. He refused to throw them to the wolves.
Clinton was covering for his own transgressions. Remember that before the "blue dress" came into evidence he was already fabricating a story to the effect that Lewinski was a stalker!
We're talking about two different animals in the zoo, here!
I'll bet Liddy agrees.
