(Judith) Miller Presents Award to 'Deep Throat'

[DoYouEverWonder]

October 15, 2005

FULLERTON, Calif. -- Judith Miller, the New York Times reporter who was jailed for protecting a confidential source, presented an award Saturday to perhaps the most famous confidential source -- the man known as "Deep Throat."

The award presented by the California First Amendment Coalition was accepted by the grandson of former FBI Associate Director W. Mark Felt because the 92-year-old could not make the trip.

Miller lauded Felt as a courageous man who helped Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein uncover the secrets of the Watergate scandal that led to the resignation of President Nixon.

"Without Mark Felt there would have been none of the revelations that showed what began as a third-rate burglary was really a story of corruption and malfeasance," Miller said. Woodward and Bernstein refused to identify "Deep Throat" until after Felt revealed it himself this year.

[Fenris]

Miller would be a pariah and out of a job.

[thebigidea]

7. yuck, i'm sure she did this just in the hope of a killer photo-op

as if putting herself in the same frame as Felt would put her in the same league. Good thing he didn't get within miles of her.

[lovuian]

[Athame]

22. I'm wearin' the same hat as you are, goforit

:tinfoilhat:

Felt really does not make any sense and GHWB was in it up to his "throat" along with the other major events since the Bay of Pigs.

[Peachhead22]

11. Damn...

[tom22]

12. Are we sure she wasn't

giving the award to Harry Reems?

[chat_noir]

17. now that was funny!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:toast:

[Vinnie From Indy]

13. She's a stone cold killer!

The perfect deep cover operative for BushCo. at the perfect place at the perfect time.

I can picture in my mind Judy sitting her cell tattooing "Love" & "Hate" on her knuckles and doing the whole DeNiro thing from "Cape Fear".

That dumbass Novakula screwed them all up when he wrote that idiotic hateful piece mentioning Plame. He should a get real "Medal of Freedom" if this exposes the BushCo. mafioso. Maybe this whole thing should be called "IronyGate"

[TacticalPeek]

14. Gross.

:puke:

[cassiepriam]

18. The repug way. Criminals are celebrities, handing out awards and

making speeches.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

19. Suprised the award did not melt in her horrible

little hands.

[NashVegas]

20. PUKE Alert

Is she actually comparing Felt to Libby?

Jesus Christ on a corn dog.

[Voltaire99]

21. Miller is the Linda Lovelace of journalism.

A fitting choice to hand out such an award.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

23. Wow. She's getting better and better at this CYA thing.

"...corruption and malfeasance," Miller said. (And probably with a straight face). Wow.

[Oilwellian]

25. I thought this was an Onion piece

Perhaps the California First Amendment Coalition should be brought up to speed where Judy's concerned. Do they even realize the irony of it all? Judy and Deep Throat in the same sentence is just...just...hysterical!
:rofl:
