… that Chuck Colson is offended — “I am really shocked,” he says —
that Mark Felt (a k a Deep Throat) went “sneaking around dark alleys and talking to
reporters.” It wasn’t “the right way” for a “very
upright” FBI agent to uncover Watergate crimes. Uh, wait a minute, Chuck.
Weren’t you one of the worst of Nixon’s real dark-alley sneaks? Weren’t you
the White House counsel who ordered an illegal break-in by Howard Hunt to find info
against Nixon’s opponents? Weren’t you the guy who pleaded guilty to
Watergate-related charges and to obstruction of justice in the Daniel Ellsberg
case? Weren’t you sentenced to from one to three years in prison? Didn’t you
serve only seven months because — praise the Lord — you were “born
again”? Please, Chuck, save your Christian evangelism for your followers and
spare the rest of us your moral outrage.
