Prior to hosting his own radio show or becoming a guest on FOX News, G. Gordon Liddy was found guilty of crimes related to the Watergate break-in (1973).
But Liddy’s resume has even more blemishes. A favorite of FBI Director (and drag queen) J. Edgar Hoover, Liddy translated this thumbs-up into some fairly illegal work for the Nixon Administration. This sort of opened some doors for a career in license plate making at a correctional facility. And after that, he took his act to Hollywood. And now he’s a conservative radio host just like Oliver North. Only in America.
Happy Birthday!
