JAKE TAPPER notes interesting post-post-Watergate developments:

The son of the acting director of the FBI during the Watergate scandal said that claims being made about his father are “categorically false” and that L. Patrick Gray does not belong on the long list of Watergate criminals and miscreants from the Nixon White House.

Ed Gray said he would be contacting high-profile figures from the Watergate era whom he felt had defamed his father. The comments were made during television interviews following the May 31 revelation by his father’s former assistant, W. Mark Felt, that he was “Deep Throat,” the anonymous source for The Washington Post reporters who broke the Watergate scandal.

The “figures” include Carl Bernstein, Ben Bradlee, and dirt-digging detective Terry Lenzner.

UPDATE: Megan McArdle thinks that Watergate is just another geezer obsession.
