New to the BlogrollSay hello to
Third Wave Dave. Noticed him a couple times in the comments both here and at Lifelike, checked out his blog and liked what I saw there. It's very much a mix of politics, culture, and entertainment. He even does
reality-TV blogging, like
me.
He's got an
interesting post on Mark Felt's daughter.
Now that your dad can't remember what he had for breakfast, you thought it would be a good time to tout him as a hero to the world, while working to secure a book deal. You could've maintained your family's self respect by at least waiting for your dad to die. But, he might've hung on too long for your comfort. After all, you've got bills to pay, right?I'm conflicted on this, I have to admit. On the one hand, Felt and his family don't necessarily deserve any big payday; on the other Woodward and Bernstein certainly got one. I guess that Dave's got the right take here. If anybody should have the right to make money off this it was the old man and he elected not to. For his daughter to come forward now with her hand out seems a violation of his desires.
