Is "Deep Throat" back in the White House???
« on: June 28, 2007, 05:08:43 AM »
The first time I saw the phrase, "White House counsel Fred Fielding", regarding the current White House, I thought it was a typo.  Fred Fielding was "Deep Throat" of the Watergate scandal, was he not?  I thought he retired many years ago.  What is he doing back at the White House?

For example, he is mentioned in this story from today: http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8Q1RG2G0&show_article=1

(Or, is this perhaps Deep Throat's son?  But I don't see any "Jr." or "II" connected with his name, so this doesn't appear to be the case.)

Fielding served as deputy to White House counsel John W. Dean III under President Richard M. Nixon and was the first to tell Dean about the Watergate break-in. Yet Fielding was one of the few to emerge untainted by Watergate. In fact, he was suspected, wrongly, of being "Deep Throat," the inside source who helped Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein uncover the scandal.

Ah!  I got my four-lettered "F"s mixed up.  It seems Deep Throat was "Felt", not "Fred"--W. Mark Felt.  The names are sufficiently similar that they registered to the same place in my brain.  Sad

You weren't so wrong, considering he was suspected of being "Deep Throat". An easy mistake to make.
