Guess we can't blame this one on John D. O'Connor. Today the Washington Post got totally scooped - again - on Deep Throat, this time by USA Today which scored a copy of Woodward's rushed-to-print Deep Throat memoir, "The Secret Man" and happily dishes its now-semi-secret details. The book is - was - set for release on July 6th. The worst part: USA Today didn't even get it by subterfuge or cool cloak-and-dagger secret book-getting ways. They bought it, at a bookstore Fairfax County, Va., that put it on sale early. Oh, my God, everyone at the Post must want to kill Bob Woodward right now (see above).
