COMMON CREEPS by Alex Cosper

Are you surprised that the identity of "Deep Throat" has finally been revealed? (5/31/05)

respondent quote
RECEPTIONIST: Who's Deep Throat?
UNKNOWN SKEPTIC: Actually I am surprised. I thought that was going to be stored in classified files at least the rest of my lifetime. The only reason this knowledge is even worth knowing is so I can thank Mr. W. Thomas Felt by name for bringing down Nixon. It didn't end fascism completely, but it was a start.
CANDY: I don't pay attention to pornos so please don't bother me with any questions about Deep Throat.
COOL LEE: Deep Throat, Deep Throat, Deep Throat. Now where do I know that? Was that one of them movies from the seventies about sharks?
DJ YOYO JO-Z: Yo, I don't know nothin' bout no forgotten story called Deep Throat. That sounds like old school talk for fools who can't dance.
JENNIFER: Cool. I'm glad he stepped forward after all these years. I know it had something to do with Watergate, but that was a little before my time. So who was Deep Throat?
BROKER BOB: I wished the networks could have focused more on the positive news today about the Arthur Anderson conviction being overturned. Instead, for whatever liberal reason, they decide to create a gloomy cloud over the markets with conspiracy theory news, thus driving the markets down today.
SKULL MADISON: I'm disappointed the media just can't get Watergate out of our lives. Look...It's like this: Dick Nixon was one of the greatest Presidents of all time, only to be forced out by two houses of Congress full of liberal Democratic hooligans - who had no clue how to keep a war going, I might add. He could have had the New World Order in place back then, but past is past. With Bush we're getting there.
COLLEGE STUDENT: Cool. I've read about that story in my history class. Nixon was easily the worst President up until that time and he needed someone like Deep Throat to bring him down. I wonder if Deep Throat has any dirt on Bush.
