It may be naive, but I always figured Deep Throat outed Nixon because Nixon was corrupt. I thought it would turn out to be a classic case of good vs. evil. But no, Deep Throat was one of J. Edgar Hoover's stooges and helped get Nixon because Nixon didn't make Deep Throat head of the FBI. It was petty revenge. J. Edgar Hoover's ghost vs. Richard Milhous Nixon. It wasn't good vs. evil. It was pure evil vs. pure evil.
But hey, it doesn't really matter anyway because Gerald Ford pardoned everyone anyway so the country never got any closure, right?

God damn Gerald Ford, Dick Nixon, and J. Edgar Hoover. Can't we ever get good people in charge of the government?
