Of course! W. Mark Felt! It was right there in front of our noses the whole time! We should have figured it was the guy that nobody ever heard of.
Meanwhile, I can't help but be a little bit sad. It's truly the end of an era: I imagine we'll never see another secret source who brings down a president and is named after a porn movie again. Although if we do, I recommend they go with "On Golden Blonde." That would be funny.

Actually, the porn movie was named after the source - not the other way around, right ? Since if i recall it was released after watergate.
no, anonymous, deep throat, the movie was released in early '72, watergate happened, or was discovered in july - august of '72. the name d.t. was given after the fact for the purpose of the book.
Great blog. My favorite moment since the Felt revelation: Bob Novak doens't think he's a hero. Novak. The guy who outed an undercover CIA agent to teach someone a lesson. People wonder why I'm angry.

Sadly, no one waits long enough for their 15 minutes of fame for a nickname to stick. We learned about Linda Tripp, for example, way before any one could write a book and use a cool nickname for her.
