Anyone else watch Jeopardy tonight?

[shimmergal]

I tuned in halfway through, not wanting to watch the Repub. convention or see any more of those sickening *Bush campaign ads. They had Repub.-related guests competing: Tucker Carlson, Peggy Noonan, and Bob Woodward. It went along like any other Jeopardy show (except the guests were going to donate their prizes to their fav. charity) until a question-answer came up about who the Watergate leaker was. Noonan responded "Deep Throat".

She got credit for that, but then Alex Trebek turned to Woodward and said something like, "You've kept this secret for thirty years, now how about an answer?"

Bob Woodward asked something about how much he'd be awarded if he gave the answer. Alex said "An inconceivable amount."

Woodward thought for a moment, and then said, "An inconceivable person." End of exchange.

Now I've never been one to speculate all that much over the identity of Deep Throat, but this really started me wondering. Only trouble is, the only entities I could think of who'd fit the description are:

1) God

or

2) Richard Nixon

Anybody else care to weigh in on this? Or did Woodward just say it off the top of his head, not meaning it?

1. My personal theory

Is that it's someone no one would expect. A loyal party man who was sickened by Nixon's blatant dishonesty to the point where he torpedoed him for the sake of the nation.

Didn't Woodward say they'd reveal the name when the person died?

2. you'd better hope G.H.W.'s chute doesent open next time he sky dives

or it'll be another 20 years til he tells

3. My personal theory on this

"Inconceivable person" could easily mean it's actually not anybody. Deep Throat doesn't exist, it's an amalgam of several sources.

4. It's Betty Ford.

You heard it here first, folks.
