What do you guys think? Is this the man that forever changed the landscape of both American politics and our perception of our political leaders?

Well, this is the first I'd heard about it. I think it's great.

I just love the phrase deep throat

I personally don't think is him. Prolly the real deep throat was killed and never found.

No... I did it too. But this morning, not now.

Oh no, I thought it was funny as hell.

You have to love that name

Anyways he shouldn't have said it, would have made a far better movie... But still good for him that he did, if thats what he wanted to do

Deep Throat..comes forward (versus behind?)...Capt Fantastic? If I were more confused, I would be like, "Oh noes, this thread shouldn't ben!"

My teacher claims to know the man who is Deep Throat.

You'll excuse me for using you as an example. But, the entire reason I posted this topic(which is something I never do) was to illustrate that there is an end result we should keep in mind. Before the watergate conspiracy, there was a blind following of our political leaders. Post-watergate..there was a cynicism that followed american politicians. I, for one, think that the post-watergate era was a good thing. Question your leaders, question their methods and question their motives. I, personally, think that Nixon was a great president. However, he was no better at his job than anyone before or after him. If Roosevelt was around post-watergate...we would have known he had polio. But, there was a "standard" to political reporting at that point. Good or bad. And polio had little effect on his ability to act as president. However, deep throat allowed us to question our leaders. That is a great thing. A true step towards democracy. Too bad that those who came after were too powerful to allow freedom to prosper.
