COLUMBUS, Ohio - Rose Mary Woods, the devoted secretary to President Nixon who admitted to inadvertently erasing part of a crucial Watergate tape, has died. She was 87.
Woods died Saturday night at a nursing home in Alliance, Roger Ruzek, owner of a funeral home in Sebring, said Sunday. He did not know the cause of death.
The 18½-minute gap in the tape of a June 20, 1972, conversation between Richard Nixon and chief of staff H.R. Haldeman was critical to the question of what Nixon knew about the break-in at Democratic headquarters in the Watergate complex three days earlier — and when he knew it.

No, but it should. It should say something like: "Senator Ted Kennedy, whose hope of a successful run for the presidency were forever put to rest along with the body of his victim, Mary Jo Kopechne...."
RIP
"Will Ted Kennedy's obituary begin with the death of Mary Jo?"
Ouch. Burn.
Only here will it appear. Then you'll get the usual hypocritic posters weeping to bless his soul. Sorry Ted but when you diea (and I hope its soon) Rot in hell pal....and say "hi" to your brothers.
I... I... I did not know that.
perhaps it was ms Woods?
Rose Mary Woods Dead From Nixon
That Woods inadvertently caused the 18 1/2 minute gap was one of those "if you can believe this, you'll believe anything" theories, sort of like the idea that the Rathergate memoes could have been typed in the early 1970s.
You beat me to it.
Pres. Gerald Ford?
His last public appearence was Washington 30 year reunion of his assuming office, in August. He was looking slow and shaky then.
He might go by years end.
Why would the left change their opinion of Ted with his passing in light of the following while still alive:
[snip] 2003's winner for the worst of the year was jarring, from a piece in the Boston Globe Magazine. Writer Charles Pierce wrote, with no sense of irony, "If she had lived, Mary Jo Kopechne would be 62 years old. Through his tireless work as a legislator, Edward Kennedy would have brought comfort to her in her old age." [/snip] NRO 12/31/2003
Is she the one who managed to keep her foot on the dictapone erase pedal for 15 minutes?
"I'm betting on Richard Pryor for number 3..."
I'm thinking Jerry Lewis....
I disagree! Clinton's funeral will be heavily attended. Just think of all the people who want to piss on his grave
In honour of Mrs. Woods' memory, let us now pause for 18 1/2 minutes of silence.
...Let's just hope she didn't smoke...
Perhaps she liked Kid Rock. :-)
The last thing at any funeral is being set in the ground. Those who want to pay their final visitation will wait until after he has been buried (like the next day).
The procession of people waiting to pee on Clinton's grave will make the processional at Graceland pale in comparison.
You were busy on your Carson thread! :)
What?
Play John Cale's 4:33 FOUR TIMES IN A ROW???
