Well I did some searching and the Watergate scandal was from 1972-1974. The pr0no Deep Throat came out in 1972 also. I couldn't find which was first.

But this line in the Wikipedia says that the sex act came first.
"Deep throating is a sexual act, depicted in the movie. This is the origin of all the other meanings of the term."

Now I guess I'm just confused about the link. I guess at that time, Deep Throat (the person) was considered bad. So possibly they were labeled that because the movie also came out around that time and the person that started it could have been making fun of or mocking the person and gave them a negative nickname to try and draw them out.

Naw, I think it's really just a scanal by the porn industry to get a blatent sexual act and popular movie into mainstream media. Everything else was made up. Yea, that one sounds more fun.

 

Of course not. This juy was an FBI agent, #2 at the time. Seems like if he were not a total douche, rather than go to the press, he could go to work and do his job. That entire episode could have been handled so much better that it is really pretty ridiculous. This very same guy was pardoned by Reagan for break in crap in the 1980's. My point is, holding him up as a hero of some sort is just wrong, when he went to the press with classified information. Jeapordizing national security is never right, even if you knock off a shady politician.

 

h: Ah, I see.
You had me going there...for a minute. :reechy:

And yeah, in a world of moral absolutes... Felt did cross the line.
But by the same token, Nixon's men had long since carpet-bombed it. h:

But without putting Felt on a pedestal, I'm still glad he came forward. Nixon's men were operating far outside their bounds; IMO we needed a whistle blower.

I'll leave it at that.
