On Tuesday, an old man emerged from the shadows to solve a mystery that had long intrigued political experts, journalists and just plain Americans. Yesterday, as he was chauffeured away from his house in Santa Rosa, Calif., he rolled down his car window and jovially told reporters that he now plans to "write a book or something and get all the money I can."

Welcome, Deep Throat, to the modern media marketing machine.

The other day I posted..."No one confesses to anything unless a book is in the works"

The Poster didn't agree with me. Plus, Felt had mentioned earlier the kid(s) needed money for college. Law school is expensive. Woodward (Post) after keeping his part of the bargain all these years, had to be just a tad upset seeing Felt go to Vanity Fair. This says a lot of Felt and Loyalty.;)

"Hirshey said he expected the Felt book to be sold for more than $1 million, and some agreed with him. Others in the publishing industry questioned that number, but acknowledged that it's hard to know, yet, what the book will be worth."

"It's all about source material," said David Black, of the David Black Literary Agency. "Did he keep a diary? Were there records? Did he keep audio conversations with Woodward? Hoover was a great record-keeper, right? Was this guy?"

Then there's the Woodward factor.

"Bob's book is sure to be coming out in a matter of weeks," said Peter Osnos, who has published previous books about Deep Throat and is currently the publisher of PublicAffairs (Osnos worked at The Washington Post at the time of Watergate). "In that case, Felt's story comes along later, and has all the earmarks of something that was a scramble."

Headline could read: Deep Throat Causes Woodward to Choke!

"he rolled down his car window and jovially told reporters that he now plans to "write a book or something and get all the money I can."

Instead of writing a books, he outta be repenting! Death it seems is at his front door! He is what 80 years old?? Soon to meet his maker...wow, I'd be repenting instead of boasting of writing a book about his traitorous act! But like a scum backstabber turned rat, they don't believe in an after life!! OH BOY, he's gonna have to face the great and powerful Judge in Judgment day...YIKES!! If I read it right, I believe R.Nixon was born again in his latter years of life.
