Yes, this could be G. Gordon Liddy's retirement swansong: 'Gemstone II'...or, maybe, 'Demstone'...

However, the Watergate Hotel break-in was foiled only because the Scotch tape failed to hold the escape door latch open long enough, leading to the Presidential (expletive deleted) coverup.

In this postmodern case, if Liddy has devised a plan to break into a Betty Crocker yellow cake factory on President Bush's behalf, the fact that Helen Thomas' Polident may fail & lead to the plot's demise will NOT necessarily cause W to order a burglary of Valerie Plame's psychiatrist's office...
