Reporters in a Rovian world.

"Although I cannot reveal the name of the source, the junior Senator from Pennsylvania told me that..."

"While I have sworn not to reveal the name, the sitting Vice-President told me..."

Deep Throat arrived in his dark-green Lincoln Mercury, DC plate 271-9382, and confirmed that...

[whistle]

1. I don't remember Woodward ever giving the slightest hint....

...ever of who Deep Throat might be. Had he done that, Deep Throat would never have been able to survive, because he was a real whistle blower.

2. That is the point.

With the RW spinmeisters saying that Karl Rove didn't disclose Valerie Plame because he simply referred to her as "Joe Wilson's wife, who works for the CIA ", I thought a little turn-around by applying the same logic to protecting a confidential source might be fun.

4. Kick for the nighttime crowd...

that day crowd is just too tough of an audience. Sorry for the self-kick.
