G Gordon Liddy dead at 90.

Watergate will be a blip in the history books..

Well, that's a bummer.  I fondly recall listening to the G-Man's radio program back in the 1990's.  I have a copy of his book Will on the bookshelf behind me.  Army veteran, FBI agent, lawyer, and actor, he was clearly a man of many talents.  And unshakeable principles.  RIP. 

In reply to 1988RedT2 :

Agreed.  Certainly not perfect and made a hugely public error with his actions in Watergate, but he sounded like a heckuva guy is so much else of his life.

I hope he left a tell all book to be published now.  

Liddy was born in the wrong era.  He would  have made a good Roman.

I thought he was too tough to die.

No it wont.  It's still a famous incident and has entered the lexicon with xxxxGate to identify a major scandal.

RIP.  Though I guess for G Gordon, the hand goes on the other end of the candle...

I read that as he was referring to something Liddy said (or implied).

I personally think he is not dead. 

Yes... it's Liddygate.

Yes... it's Liddygate.

Which is phonetically almost identical to litigate.

Coincidence...

...I think not Captain.
