Former Nixon campaign official G. Gordon Liddy, who was a key figure in the Watergate scandal as the chief operative in the White House Plumbers unit, has died, according to multiple news outlets. He was 90.

He did that and many times, too.
Was to demonstrate his force of Will.
His book describes how he overcame his fear of fire, rats and thunderstorms. Very interesting.
Always read the news from the wash times, loved his radio show
Yeah. Make me laugh when he described stomping on a dead rat on the track in prison.- a way to impress the inmates and took the rat to a guard and presented it to him.
Also a fan of the radio show & the only one I was ever successful in getting on the air. Never got past the screener for Rush.
Me, too!
RIP Mr. Liddy. The funniest story I heard him tell on his radio show was one about being on guard duty at a base along the US/Mex border.
He and another soldier were at the guardhouse early one weekend morning when a disheveled young private came walking up the street. They questioned him and found out he’d spent the night whoring around across the border.
They decided to play with his head and told the kid that gonorrhea was rampant there and he probably caught it. The kid was mortified and begged for help as to what to do.
Liddy told him to slather his johnson in vasoline and wrap it in toilet paper.
A day later there was a surprise pants down inspection much to the embarrassment of the young soldier and the guys in on the joke fell out laughing.
Liddy often spoke of Dean being the mastermind of Watergate from the get go.
The DNC kept a Black Book of call girls for entertainment purposes...and Dean’s future wife was in that book. The break-in was to get the Black Book.
Eventually, when law enforcement was closing in, Dean flipped and began “naming names” and rest is history.
Does Jon Dean still own money to his estate?
RIP Sir.
I do believe you might have been the first talk show host I ever listened to.
One of Kind! RIP, G. Gordon.
My stepdad (may *he* RIP), joining my mom and I in watching Liddy pitch "What's in your safe?", said "that man's better known nowadays for his gold pitches than for Watergate!"

RIP soldier. Persecuted by the same filthy democrat scum we have today.
Liddy was a legend in Po’town, NY, where I grew up. As an assistant district attorney, he fired a revolver during a trial to make a point, and if legend is correct, there is still a hole in the courtroom ceiling. When I was a young lawyer, GGL returned to Po’town to speak at the monthly bar association lunch, and the demand was so large that we had to move to a larger venue.
His stories were captivating. The two that I remember most: When he checked into his first prison, he found the biggest bad-ass in the joint and broke a broomstick over his head and told him “don’t f*ck with me” and no-one ever did. The second story he told is that he was moved from prison to prison because of disciplinary reasons and they finally paroled him because of his talent for breaking into the warden’s office.
In later years, he became a radio personality, often as a sub for Bob Grant.
Liddy is a great American.
Still have my 'Stacked and Packed' calendars, signed by him.
RIP God Speed
As I recall, Gordon was the last man to interview William F. Buckley. That whole generation of solid men is passing...Buckley, Paul Harvey, Walter Williams, William Rusher... and really the replacements are second raters. There are very few left...Sowell, James Buckley...who else?
Nobody messed with him in prison because he wore a ‘fighting ring’.

“One another occasion, he got himself over his fear of rats by catching one, cooking it and eating it.”
Remember a caller to his show one day asking about how to do that very thing.
My take on his response was to never try it myself.
Needed to be VERY carefully handled while raw and thoroughly cooked.
I then decided, if really hungry, i would snatch eggs from underneath a sitting ostrich instead.
Much safer.
RIP to a great American.
Requiescat in pace
