Does anybody remember the White House Plumbers?

Why would McCain be so stupid as to use Joe the plumber as a campaign prop?

I mean talk about resurrecting skeletons for Halloween!

1. That's funny. I'd forgotten about that.

Wasn't Gordon Liddy a 'plumber?'

7. Does John McCain "pal around with terrorists?" Gordon Liddy

15. I got the link about WH plumbers and Joe the plumber early..but I forgot

that McCain likes to hang with Liddy. LOL!

[afridemo]

8. That's one plumber McCain would rather not talk about

and I bet Liddy makes over 250k

2. Yeah, I've been thinking about "G. Gordon the Plumber" vs "Joe the Plumber"

and McCain palling around with domestic terrorist plumbers.

[POAS]

16. Just saw old G. Gordon

(Shoot for their heads) Liddy on Olbermann. He's still trying hard to continue his "continuous improvement" program in the outrageous category.

3. I haven't forgotten

That Watergate episode was the inspiration for the Atwaters and Roves and other dirty tricksters who have stolen far too many elections in the ensuing years.

4. Yes

First thing I thought of, but I guess you have to be over a certain age.

5. Yeah, I wasn't aware Joe worked for Nixon. Of course, people have short

memories when it comes to politics, very few people even remember the plumbers any more. And I thought the Nixon White House was so full of criminals, they were small fry compared to this gang of criminals. And they had the good taste to get caught and most went to jail, these criminals will never serve any jail time, if my guess is correct.

6. Liddy...Hunt...Sturgis???...I was young but these names come to mind.

[calico1]

9. I was a teenager at the time but I remember it

well.

10. Good catch

You would have thought Olbermann or Madow would have thought of the 'plumber' connection.

14. McCain of all people should remember

unless his friend Al Zheimer has paid him a visit already.

11. Also, any one remember "the Polish plumber" issue in the last French presidential election?

That was an EU issue -- the point was, plumbers from Poland were allegedly swamping France, and charging a lot less than native-born Frenchmen in the business.

12. plumbers stop the leaking

"Its job was to stop the leaking (hence "plumbers") of classified information to the news media. Its members branched into more nefarious projects working for the Committee to Re-elect the President (CRP, or CREEP), including the Watergate break-ins and the ensuing Watergate scandal."

Two plumbers were E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy
