I think one of the funniest things about the recent news concerning Deep Throat's identity is how we all politely ignore that the informant was named after a 1972 porn film about a girl whose clitoris is in her throat. I suppose it says something that we're all able to stifle a Beavis and Butthead giggle every tme the name is mentioned. Thinking back, I'm sure it made my mom squirm a bit when I originally learned about Deep Throat while writing a paper about Watergate in 7th grade. Bob Woodward, you have a sick sense of humor.
