Rehnquist is Deep Throat? Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Just saw this article... very interesting.

quote:

I think I know who it is: Chief Justice William Rehnquist.....

Woodward has always said that he and Bernstein and Ben Bradlee won't ever reveal til he's dead. We're now told Deep Throat is quite "ill" and Bradlee says the obit's already written.

Rehnquist was a Deputy Attorney General in the "Office of Legal Counsel" from 1969-1972 under Nixon's Deputy AG, Richard Kleindienst. Rehnquist and Kleindienst were very good friends when both were lawyers in Phoenix, and Kleindienst recruited Rehnquist into the Justice Department when Nixon got elected. Rehnquist stayed three years and then Kleindienst pushed Nixon to appoint him to the Court, which happened in January of 1972. Just six months later AG John Mitchell resigned to head Nixon's re-election committee (CREEP), and Kleindienst replaced Mitchell as AG just five days before the June '72 Watergate break-in. Kleindienst resigned in 1973 along with Haldeman, Ehrlichman and Dean, but he and Rehnquist remained close.

So: we have Rehnquist in Washington throughout the relevant time frame, in the Nixon Justice Dept. for three years, presumably maintaining numerous contacts within the Administration even after he went to the Court in January '72, and he's quite ill right now. Seven of the eight clandestine meetings Woodward describes between himself & Deep Throat in the book "All The President's Men" took place on weekends, presumably a time when Rehnquist's duties to the Court would not interfere. Not only that, but the somewhat cryptic, elliptical, low-key style of speaking that Woodward attributes to Deep Throat in the book (and so memorably recreated in the movie by Hal Holbrook) eerily mirrors the manner in which Rehnquist speaks in real life.

Woodward, incidentally, had unprecedented access to the Supreme Court for his best-selling 1975 book, "The Brethren: Inside the Supreme Court"

Anybody know how Al Haig is feeling these days? Lately, smart money was on him as Deep Throat.

quote:
You just gave me a horrifying mental image of the Chief Justice


Back in the late 70s, Woodward revealed in his book The Bretheren that the Supreme Court used to have to screen any film that was part of an obscenity case. William O. Douglas used to boycott the screenings, as befit a First Amendment absolutist. The other justices used to attend and squirm uncomfortably throughout -- all except Thurgood Marshall, who used to bring popcorn and thouroghly enjoy himself.

Supreme Court Justice sounds like a great position to have... not only are you one of the nine people in the country who have the ultimate say as to what the Constitution means, you also get to watch porn at work! Bonus!

He conspired himself out by sending burglers to find out what dirt the Democrats had on him. Hippies had no part in it.

The ironic thing was that the Democrats didn't really have anything on him and he won by a large margin. The Watergate break in was completely unnecessary and yielded no benefit.

According to Christopher Hitchens, Nixon was desperate to find out whether or not the Democrats were going to attack him for sabotaging the Paris Peace talks in '68, by telling the South Vietnamese to walk away since they'd get a better deal with him as President. Knowing that one way or another would have been valuable.

In fact, the Democrats did have that on him (according to Hitchens), back in 1968, but didn't use it for fear he would counter that the cessation of bombing was merely to get Humphrey elected (which it was). They were not, however, planning on using it.

And thus, the break in was unnecessary and yielded no benefit.

Why? After all, Nixon's scandel led to most of America realize the truth about their sleazy politicians.
