We've got two unique live shows going on tonight at 7 pm & 9 pm ET in order to
handle the disclosure of Deep Throat and Bush's rose garden presser
We'll lead 7 pm ET with the Deep Throat revelation and chat with Pat Buchanan,
Newsweek's Evan Thomas & Monica Crowley, who currently hosts "Connected: Coast
to Coast" on MSNBC and used to work for Nixon in his retirement...David Gregory
will kick it off however with a snapshot of today's Rose Garden presser.

prosecutor's office back in the day...

We finish up 7 pm with none other than the "G-Man" himself, G. Gordon Liddy on
the Deep Throat revelation..
9 pm will be exclusively dedicated to the "Deep Throat" revelation...
We begin with an excellent Shuster backgrounder package, followed by Tom Brokaw
who covered the White House at the time, then out to Andrea, Brokaw, Pat and
former Nixon aide and all around Washington Wiseman David Gergen
And if that isn't enough we turn to legendary actor Robert Redford who played
Bob Woodward in "All the President's Men" to get his take on this developing
story...

Dean, the White House counsel turned whistleblower...
