He snitched to Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward. on President Richard Nixon and his aides's shenanigans at the Watergate hotel, effectively bringing down the second-worst president in US history.

I've always wondered why he called himself something that is a sexual act and a famed porn title.

I think the reporters gave him that name, and it was supposed to be a reference to the porn movie.

The Vanity Fair article was from 2005, not 1995.

When Deep Throat tells you he's dead, he's not really dead. Or he is dead, but wants you to think he's still alive.
