"Deep Throat" Unmasked? [UPDATE: Article 19 Exclusive!!]
Would be a shocker, but author Adrian Havrill now believes the secret informant to Woodward and Bernstein is someone we know all too well. First name, George. Last name, Bush.
Did Bush have motivation? You bet. It was Richard Nixon who urged Bush to leave a safe seat in Congress, hinting there would be a position as assistant Secretary of the Treasury waiting for him if he failed to win a Senate seat held by Ralph Yarborough. When Bush lost, Nixon reneged and asked him to take the U.N. slot instead but teased him by hinting he would be the replacement for Spiro Agnew in 1972. Instead, he was given the thankless task of heading the Republican National Committee in 1973. The elder Bush got his revenge in the end, by standing up at a cabinet meeting in August of 1974 and becoming the first person in Nixon's inner circle to ask the President to resign.
Supposing this is proven true while W is still the President. How would old-school Republicans respond to the news?

[UPDATE!] Article 19 has deduced the true identity of Deep Throat! And no, it isn't George Bush! My big clue: John Dean says that he has learned Deep Throat is ill! The obit is already written. And who is now ill?? The Pope! I was suspicious of my next door neighbor, who has really been coughing lately, but then I thought: how would John Dean know Mr. Watkins is sick?? But damn near everyone knows that the Pope is on his deathbed. It's simple logic people!
