Deep Throat Revealed For Fame and Fortune

In the history of the United States there have only been a few unsolved mysteries. I'm not talking about local murders that have gone unsolved, but questions that have bugged the populace. Who shot Kennedy if not Oswald? Who is "Deep Throat"? Unless you live under a rock, you probably know that Deep Throat has been revealed as Mr. Felt. Scratch one mystery from the National consciousness.

I don't have a problem with his identity. If a disgruntled FBI man wants to help out the press, bless his heart. What I have a problem with is his relatives deciding to out him for fame and fortune when for the last thirty years he had not decided to reveal his secret. The Washington Post was concerned that he might not be able to make an informed decision because in his declining years he is not quite as sharp as he might have otherwise been. But that and his obvious desires to not be known as Deep Throat were not enough to dissuade his relatives from revealing the truth to "get some money to pay the bills."

Ahh capitalism.
