he really was deep throat
look into the watergate scandal you'll see
::TranceVanDyk::
it is serious news. that guy was the reason a president was put out of office. and the mysteriousness of the guy. nobody knew who he was. nobody even knew if he was still alive. yahoo did the same thing. put it as one of their headlines.
astroboy
Oh they changed it!

Just when I posted they had a link to this: http://www.ridiculopathy.com/news_detail.php?id=1336

I saw the headline and was like wtf!

I dont see whats so incredibly funny...


What's incredibly funny is that Google News, which professes to propagate serious news displayed a comical/satirical article that claimed the former deputy director of the FI was in a porn flick.

Secondly your informatio is incorrect. I saw a documentary that had an interview with Howard Simons, Washington Post senior editor at the time. He admitted he borrowed the name for his source from an x-rated film tat was around at the time.
