2. I heard a rumor that "Jeff Gannon" said Scotty has a deep throat....
But I think you must be talking about something else, n'est pas?

4. None of the above
Several administration members have already reported the crimes pointed out in the Downing Street Memo (O'Neill, etc.). The news landed wiith a wet thud. There will be no Deep Throat, not because of any Morality or Loyalty test, but because no one gives a damn.

Ah, yes. I'm in a good mood this morning. :)

5. Colin Powell might be the only Bush cronny with ethics?
But, generally no snitches are allowed in the Dubya administration..that is why they attack 'Whistleblower ' laws..If a CIA agent like Anderson and his wife Ms. Palme paid the price they did for 'leaks' over nuclear 'tubes ' in Niger, imagine what a more entrenched fiugure would face from these thugs.

8. Pppfffft. Colin Powell.

After he signed over his immortal soul to Satan, along with his self-respect, and his testicles, any wellspring of "ethics" that Powell might once have had , becomes pretty much irrelevant. Dontcha think?

12. I used the word might.
I am not a Colin Powell worshiper...Just had a little more brains than the average Bush neocon..But not much..Recall a story about Powell in the Nation years ago about how Powell was involved in the MyLai Massacre coverup early in his military career..
But, still you could tell Powell was uncomfortable with the neocons , who he must have felt had run amuck...Can always hope, those who toy with the devil feel an eventual need to come clean.

7. The Bush Administration could have dozens of "Deep Throats"....
....and it wouldnt make one bit of difference, because there is NO media outlet in this decade that would run the sort of story that made Woodward and Bernstein famous.

Back then we had an independant media.
We dont now.
We are so screwed.
And a hundred thousand DeepThroats cant save us.

Tom Daschle no

13. "Deep Throat" is immaterial.
There are plenty of people out there giving information, but it is not being reported.

The question should be "Who will this administration's Bradlee, Woodward and Bernstein be?"
