"Mark Felt is a lier who took an oath and didn't keep it but continued 
to take my money for his pay. He is only doing this now for the money. 
He is a thief and a cad. He is no hero. It all helps me to understand 
why our kids don't know what morality is."

Would you care to expound, Pat, on what exactly Mark Felt lied about?  
Was it Nixon's role in the Watergate cover-up?  No . . . John Dean 
(Nixon's counsel) has long since confirmed that Nixon was hands-on in 
that regard.  Did Felt lie about the break-ins themselves?  No . . . G. 
Gordon Liddy, architect of the burglaries, has confirmed that they took 
place, and he's quite unapologetic about it.  So what, exactly, did Mr. 
Felt lie about?  And let's remind ourselves: as an FBI agent, Mark Felt 
took an oath to do what?  To support and defend the Constitution, 
that's what.  How did exposing Nixon's abuse of that document violate 
Mark Felt's oath?  My father-in-law took an oath to support and defend 
the Constitution as a US Marine, and he assures me that fulfilling that 
oath had nothing whatsoever to do with aiding and abetting a 
law-breaking commander-in-chief.  Quite the opposite, in fact.

Mr. Felt was a whistle-blower, plain and simple.  What did that earn 
him?  Thirty years of anonymity.  Not money, not movie rights, and 
certainly not universal approval and acclaim.

Finally, I have to wonder, how is this 91 year-old man going to spend 
the great wads of cash that Pat imagines this revelation will earn him? 
  Has someone given Anna Nicole Smith and the company that makes Viagra 
his phone number?  There's only so much a 91 year-old can do with money 
-- taking it with him to the mausoleum being option number one.

Mark Felt might have one foot in the grave and the other on a banana 
peel, but that's one up on Pat; she seems to have neither of her hooves 
in reality.
