The conservative media appears to be having a "hate Clinton" type of melt down over the "unveiling" of Watergate figure, Deep Throat.
I understand former Nixon officals loosing their minds, but I was surprised at the conservative pundits who also blew a gasket.
Felt had problems. In fact, he was found guilty of crimes, himself. Later, Pres. Reagan gave him a pardon. So, the man isn't a saint like some are making him out to be. But the fact is, Nixon and his aides broke the law, and they paid the price for it.
The U.S. places itself as "The Example" for other countries to emulate. It is then appropriate, to say that when our officials mess up, they are handled within our system. If Felt believed the only way to handle it was to go to the press, because the FBI higher ups would cover up the issue, so be it.
To steal from Two Face, "Some people need an enema!".
