The media has been having a field day with the Felt Throat thing, even to the point of inviting Watergate conspirators to comment without disclosing their roles in the scandal. Of course, it would probably be less inflammatory to have convicted burglar G. Gordon Liddy denouncing Felt as dishonorable if they also pointed out that because of Felt’s actions Liddy went to prison for the crimes he committed. Ditto Colson, who, as may have had some kind of conversion experience in the clink — but apparently has left his douchebaggery intact.

By the way, in the event you’re harboring that wingnut notion that the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal and Watergate are in any way morally equivalent: Bullshit.
