Deepthroat Revelation Empowers Professors To Finally Discuss Little-Taught Watergate Scandal

Subject to now occupy remaining tenth of Poli-Sci semester


Recent developments in the just-confirmed identity of "Deepthroat"
have allowed for previously-shackled academics to speak at length
about one of America's least-taught subjects. The academically invisible
Watergate scandal can now become sole curriculum.

Washington-Despite former FBI official Mark Felt's controversial self-revelation that he is the infamous "Deep Throat" informant to the Washington Post, many college professors are hailing an end to the silence concerning Watergate.

"This is a sociopolitical high-colonic," said UCLA political science professor Mark Sist. "I have always felt an abstract gag order against this subject taking up more than the paltry nine-tenths of my semester curriculum."

"Maybe now these kids will finally come to know the name of the mysterious and little-covered, Richard Nixon," said Sist.

Other Political Science professors are considering jettisoning the whole balance of American History; Marbury Vs. Madison, the 55 signers, Dred Scott, and the American Revolution, just to name a few. Some have even boiled their academic goals down to a pithy, and more focused structure:
  • Memorize Preamble from televised episode of ZOOM(one hour). Seguay into general topic of anti-communist corruption
  • Why Richard Nixon is the Incubus(two weeks)
  • Theories as to how the Incubus was twice elected(1 week)
  • The Incubus and Watergate(2weeks)
  • The Incubus and the cover-up(2 weeks)
  • The Incubus and impeachment(2 weeks)
  • Watch the Incubus resign from office(1 week)
  • The Incubus dies, goes to Hell(1 week)
  • The conspiracy against William Jefferson Clinton(1 week)
  • How the Supreme Court’s act of vacating the Florida court's choosing of Gore for president is defined as the Supreme Court picking Bush for president(final week, sackcloth and ashes required apparrel).

"We have no intention of leaving out McCarthy, by the way," said Sist. "In fact, my own personal curriculum may include it as the perfect and logical precursor to Watergate. Mr. Felt deserves an award, in my opinion."
