Deep Throat Redux

Judging from the reaction of the right I come to two conclusions.

Wingnuts suffer from irony-deficit syndrome. Convicted felons like G. Gordon Liddy and Chuck Colson are applauded for characterizing Mr. Felt's efforts to expose their crimes as treasonous. Incredible.

G. Gordon Liddy, a Nixon operative who engineered the 1972 break-in at the Democratic National Campaign headquarters in the Watergate building in Washington, and served four and a half years in jail for it, said Wednesday that Felt "violated the ethics of the law enforcement profession."
An ethics lesson from Liddy. Puhleeeze.

Also, the wingnuts have well learned the Rovian rule: If you don't like the message, discredit the messenger. [If you want a laugh just browse the posts-CK].

But this is all bullshit. Tom Brokaw has the smackdown (via Crooks & Liars).
