Former FBI No. 2 was source for stories that brought down Nixon

SAN FRANCISCO - W. Mark Felt, the former FBI second-in-command who revealed himself as "Deep Throat" 30 years after he tipped off reporters to the Watergate scandal that toppled a president, has died. He was 95.

LAST NIGHT, I went out to dinner with a bunch of friends to a place in Arlington, Virginia. As we walked to the Metro, we passed the garage where Mark Felt and Bob Woodward met, and I commented on it. I haven't thought of Watergate in ages. What a bizarre coincidence.

That is a great example of coincidence not being coincidental. Great example!

And with the success of the new Nixon/Frost film and it's relevance in terms of the questions surrounding Obama and what he has kept from us, it seems things have come full circle.
 
Wow. So even the death of Mark Felt can somehow be related to Barack Obama. Pathetic.
