Deep Throat Is Ill

Well folks, it would appear as though Woodward and Bernstein’s famous secret source in the Watergate scandal, “Deep Throat,” is very ill and may be dying soon. This pretty much blows some previous ideas about who it was out of the water.
I’ve never taken much to speculating about who this shadowy person is, but given what we know about the source’s illness and given that Supreme Court Chief Justice Rehnquist is the only Nixon-era person I know who is gravely ill, I’d have to say its him. I’d be willing to put money on it.
We’ll probably find out soon whether or not I’m right.
