Answer 1

I think you mean Watergate. It's kind of famous among people who are now on Social Security, and also well-known to political science majors and historians who, like the late Barbara Tuchman, specialize in human folly in high places.

See, some dumb-asses in the Nixon White House got some other dumb-asses to burglarize the Democratic National Headquarters before the 1972 election to find damning evidence that Nixon supporters could use in the coming presidential campaign.

[The burglars, who were Cuban expatriates, were planning an excursion to Miami, Fla., to celebrate the successful burglary, but, when a security guard caught them, one of the burglars told the Watergate congressional investigating committee, he turned and said something to a fellow burglar as they fled.

"What did you say to him?" the senatorial interrogator sternly asked.

"I said, replied the burglar, 'Does this mean we don't get to go to Miami?' "]

Yes, in retrospect, the whole thing was a farce from beginning to end Too bad early comedy producer Mack Sennett was dead or retired and didn't get to do his own "Sennett-orial" questioning, to serve as the basis for the best Marx Brothers script of all.

By the Seventies, the Marx Brothers were also either dead or out of the comedy business, but movie-makers-- who missed the opportunity of the lifetime to portray the comedic essence of Watergate on film-- could have called in Richard Pryor, Gene Wilder, and maybe Steve Martin and one or two others to play the main roles, Erlichmann, Haldemann, and E. Howard Hunt, but, unfortunately, only Harpo Marx could have done justice to Nixon's public "deaf and dumb act" during this tempest-in-a-teapot "scandal of the century".

There can be only one Chuck Colson and only one John Dean, portrayed very unconvincingly by actors in a spate of terrible movies, so the the prison apostle and the "Judas" himself could have co-starred in the comic remake of Watergate.

The real burglars, who put on a good comic performance before congressional committee, could have suitably re-enacted the bungled burglary on film. By the time they got through paying legal fees, they probably needed the actors salaries to finance their jail-interrupted vacation in Miami..
