Preface To Creep: This Show Will Have Nothing To Do With Richard M. Nixon

What do John N. Mitchell, G. Gordon Liddy, E. Howard Hunt, & Charles Colson have in common? They're all C.R.E.E.P.s!

It's one of history's most felicitous acronymic errors - these felons (& they all served time for the Watergate break-in & related criminal activities) meant their Committee for the Re-Election of the President to be abbreviated CRP, but, with absence of foresight - or simply not having seen the letters written down - they didn't predict that their political rivals - or really anyone with common sense - would see a better acronym was CREEP.

That's too funny to be true. But it was a simpler time. Irony hadn't yet become America's bailiwick.

But this week's show has nothing to do with the Committee for the Re-Election of the President. Alas!
