Hollerin’ Howard : Deep Throat
St. Louis Post-Dispatch – June 11, 2005
If you’re A yellow dog Democrat and don’t see anything wrong with Howard Dean’s latest wisecracks about Republicans, try turning around his comments.
Last week, the Democratic Party Chairman and chief loudmouth told liberal groups that a lot of Republicans “never made an honest living in their lives.” Can you imagine the outrage of the People for the American Way if the Republican Party chairman said a lot of Democrats are welfare queens hooked on food stamps?
Dr. Dean also said that the GOP was “pretty much a white, Christian party.” Sort of like a GOP chairman saying that Democrats are a party of blacks, atheists and Jews.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., tried to bail out the former Vermont governor by saying that a lot of people misspeak. But Hollerin’ Howard was beyond help. Instead of admitting mistakes, he blamed the media and the Republicans for diverting attention from serious problems.
If the self-absorbed Dr. Dean is looking for the reason for that diverted attention, he’ll have to try a little introspection.
Deep Throat
Daily Camera, Boulder, Colo – June 2, 2005
More than three decades after Watergate, some of the president’s men still show an extravagant and illogical loyalty to their former boss.
Vanity Fair magazine reported that W. Mark Felt, who in the ’70s was the No. 2 man at the FBI, was also the Washington Post’s anonymous source known as Deep Throat. Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, the Post reporters whom he assisted, confirmed it.
Felt is 91 and fading. Nixon is gone. Watergate is a fading memory. Felt’s family persuaded him to step into public view and finally accept the accolades he is due. For the most part, that’s what he has received. There are notable exceptions…
Felt, Woodward, Bernstein and many more ranging from other secret sources to the U.S. Supreme Court helped resolve the disgrace emanating from the Oval Office. Partisans of Nixon’s day may always deny that any good came of the Watergate story. Most of us know better.
