Deep Throat Unveiled

One of the great mysteries of the 20th century has apparently been solved with little fanfare. Former FBI official W. Mark Felt has revealed that he is the Watergate source known as "deep throat." The exclusive story will appear in the June issue of Vanity Fair.

The identity of deep throat has inspired great speculation and discussion, but the end of the riddle was mostly met with shrugs. From MSNBC News:

Commentator Chris Matthews, who wrote a book about Watergate, said he wasn't surprised, adding that Felt "has always been the leading suspect."

Mr. Felt had publicly denied being Deep Throat in the past, but recently was convinced by his children to reveal his identity to help with family financial troubles. Daughter Joan's argument: "Bob Woodward's gonna get all the glory for this, but we could make at least enough money to pay some bills, like the debt I've run up for the kids' education. Let's do it for the family."

Maybe we'll find Jimmy Hoffa when the person who buried him can't pay the mortgage?
