This is just totally awesome: Deep Throat and Genocide. Here's the first paragraph:
Re: The "news" that former FBI agent Mark Felt broke the law, broke his code of ethics, broke his oath and was the main source for Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward's articles that helped depose Richard Nixon, a few thoughts.The rest is equally priceless. Posted by Chris at June 1, 2005 09:04 PMCan anyone even remember now what Nixon did that was so terrible? He ended the war in Vietnam, brought home the POW's, ended the war in the Mideast, opened relations with China, started the first nuclear weapons reduction treaty, saved Eretz Israel's life, started the Environmental Protection Administration. Does anyone remember what he did that was bad?
i like how the byline fails to mention that ben stein was one of nixon's speechwriters. you'd think that would be something that should be disclosed
