Deepthroat exposed

...and no, it wasn't Linda Loveless.

So back in the early seventies, this FBI agent screwed the Nixon administration by exposing their connection to some of the same things this same FBI agent had been charged with doing. -- breaking and entering to gather information. Now some 40 odd years later he screws the Washington Post, which had been keeping his identity secret, and gave the scoop to another paper. And of course the media are treating him like he's a hero, rather than the shallow opportunist he is.
