We need a new name for the British informant

[Horse with no Name]

I don't like "Deep Throat II" (especially since it may be a woman).
Any suggestions?

I'd almost like a page out of their own playbook.

How about "Mockingbird"?

1. Spotted Dick.

[BurtWorm]

3. Toad in the hole

[BurtWorm]

2. Nightingale

singing with full-throated ease from the darkling wood.

[brainshrub]

4. Nominated.

I love that name! Nightingale indeed.

[quiet.american]

7. Like it, Burt. n/t

[staticstopper]

11. how bout

"queer eye"

[tridim]

5. Is anyone familiar with 70's British porn?

I agree the Watergate terminology should be diminished, simply because the seriousness of the recent scandals dwarf everything that happened in Watergate. A new watermark has been set.

[Fuzz]

6. Blimey O'Reilly!

[Norquist Nemesis]

8. Bush probably already nicknamed him Pondscum

but I kind of like The Lifeguard.

[jasmeel]

9. Freedom fighter! n/t

[Spazito]

10. I support 'Nightingale', it just seems to fit

and evokes the picture of someone who does right because it is right regardless of the dangers ie Florence Nightingale.

[democrat in Tallahassee]

12. Bush the Ripper

13. UK Comic book hero! "Black Shadow"....read what he's about! He's PERFECT!

and "Black Shadow" could be male or female for "our" puposes. ;) unisex!
