STURGIS, S.D., Aug 03, 2003 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- Convicted Watergate figure G. Gordon Liddy has set up shop here for the town's annual motorcycle rally.

Liddy, 72, rode his 2003 Harley-Davidson 1,846 miles from the Washington, D.C., area to Sturgis, arriving Thursday night. He planned to take part in book and calendar signings, a motorcycle ride from Mount Rushmore to the Buffalo Chip Campground and will broadcast his daily radio show.

In nearby town of Deadwood, the mayor has decided to designate Monday as G. Gordon Liddy Day in the gambling town.

On Thursday, Gov. Mike Rounds will proclaim August 7 as "G. Gordon Liddy Day" in South Dakota.

Liddy served four years and four months in prison for his role in the 1972 break-in at Democratic Party headquarters at the Watergate.

Jeff Jones, president of G. Gordon Liddy Network Productions, joined Liddy, a group of friends, business associates, a film crew and some calendar models for the ride.

"He rode it all the way," Jones said of Liddy. "I can't believe how well he did. He's in the best shape of his life."

I had visions of Liddy in a tank top with tattooed arms...

As long as nobody holds up a sign saying: "SHOW YOUR T*TS".

[BraveMan]

you can bet Liddy isn't staying at Buffalo Chip.

LOL! BZZZT! Ohh, sorry. Thanks for playing . . . ;-)

"Pathetic, isn't it?"

Sure is. The only thing we need to know now is that Hillary was the driving force behind Watergate. Surprise! she's still going.

and good genes....I think both his folks lived long. His mom died recently in her mid 90s.

[Rushmore Rocks]

The G-Man is staying at the Hampton Inn in Deadwood and broadcasting his radio program in Belle Fourche. (north of Sturgis) The Hills are alive with the roar of Harleys. I love it!!! BTW, we have a tremendous crowd here already and the Rally doesn't start 'till Monday.

[BraveMan]

My bad. I mistook "staying" for "showing" . . .

I imagine he can afford better accomodations than those found in Buffalo Chip         :0)

And, no doubt the AP always prefaces their articles about Nelson Mandela with "convicted murder Nelson Mandela"...

[vaudine]

LOL!

I like it! Could do a lot for the Republican Party.

Here we go again,,, That pic shows a cross over exhaust so I would say that's a new Heritage, w/silver & black 100th anniv paint, hard to tell. But Fatboy exhaust has duals on the right side only and the taillight is a tombstone which is stock with the Heritage.

The pic didn't show up when I posted earlier. I think you're right. Its a Heritage.

I hope I'm in half as good a shape at age 72.

Hah! Back when I was 72, I cudda kicked Liddy's ass. Ya betcha. Maybe even still.

I was on a road trip recently through South Dakota. I'm not an expert on their politics, but it seems strange how Tom Dashle came from a state where billboard signs say, "Help control the animal population. WEAR FUR!"

Watergate trivia: Hillary Clinton interned for Communist Party lawyer Robert Treuhalf. One of Treuhaft's best friends in the Communist Party was Al Bernstein, the father of Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein. As you mention, Hillary worked on the Watergate impeachment committee.

[swheats]

The more I read about Watergate causes me to think that it was Hillary's strategizing for Gore in Election 2000. Her "MO", change the rules to win.

More Trivia
Zeifman quoted his own 1974 diary, which reports that just four days after Nixon resigned "John Labovitz came to my office and apologized for having participated to some extent to conceal from me the work that was being done. Some months ago, he and Hillary lied intentionally to me and told me there were no drafts of proposed rules of procedure for the [Nixon] impeachment inquiry."

The New York Daily News noticed this earthquake confession, and sought Zeifman's elaboration on the historic subterfuge perpetrated by our current first lady. The Daily News reported:

If the United States was going to topple its own president, rules were important, Zeifman told us Friday. "Suppose we were going to have the World Series next week and suddenly one of the team managers says, 'We want to change the rules to two strikes and you're out.'"

That's basically what [Hillary] Clinton and Labovitz did, Zeifman claims. In other words, they drew up new impeachment protocols to replace those in existence since Jefferson's day -- and then denied it. Congress -- and the country -- would have been completely polarized if it had seemed Nixon was being railroaded out of office with new rules, Zeifman said. (New York Daily News – Feb.12, 1996)

Nixon was likely guilty of the Watergate cover-up. But Ruth's memo to Jaworski shows there really wasn’t any "smoking gun" evidence of it.

And that's likely why Hillary Diane Rodham, who regarded Nixon as "evil," according to Clinton biographer David Maraniss, had to discard impeachment rules in place for two centuries in order to nail her quarry.

Let's hope this group in our Congress know the rules.

:-_) Every years I'm in SD around the Rally time, I see them fly in from all over the US to Rapid City Airport, meet up with their moving vans, unload the Hogs, spiff 'em up a little, and ride the 6 (?) miles into Sturgis, complete with temporary tattoos. OTOH, the first year I saw that, I also saw several very real bikers from CA stop for breakfast in Winnemucca, NV, fixing to ride all the way in.

This year, in Spearfish, the Super 8's parking lot turned into a detail shop for the bikes just taken out of the moving vans... :-) They sure did shine, though!

This year, Jethro Tull will be performing at Sturgis on Monday night - I just saw him last night (saturday) - it was a tremendous show. Wish I could go back up there for Round 2!

Both of them had to have been recruited while at Yale. My guess is it was the Czech StB and not the KGB which did it.

Liddy, 72, rode his 2003 Harley-Davidson 1,846 miles from the Washington, D.C., area to Sturgis

Oh hell, 1800 miles is just a walk in the park. Now there was, I believe, that 80 plus year old lady from Alaska who used to ride down to somewhere around Tenn and back some years ago. Compared to her, Liddy's a girly-man.
