It is likely that I owned that issue of National Lampoon. I also had many Issues of Nick Fury as drawn by Dick Ayers. It was the only war comic I liked.

To me the most salient point of that eulogy is that Kissinger is still with us, thereby objectively proving that only the good die young.

By that maxim Kissinger has at least another century in him.

The only Watergate conspirator not to cooperate with investigators, Liddy also spent the most time of any of them in prison.

Prison time for people who conspire to steal elections? What a novel idea!

So G. Gordon Liddy died at the age of 90.

They say "Only the good die young."

Age 90 sounsd about right for Liddy.

I always blame Reagan for the GOP's turn to insanity, but Nixon absolutely helped too. I like that Nixon thought Liddy was a lunatic, but employed him anyway.

Looks like the best way that Liddy made America great was by his dying.

Apparently there's a film: https://www.imdb.com/title/...And their tour was just a bit before I fell in with the Starwood Festival crowd, who brought Leary to town several times after that.

Look on the bright side - maybe someday he'll be taking an international flight somewhere to collect an undeserved humanitarian award &plane trouble will force them to make an unscheduled stopover in Vietnam. Then we'd get to see footage of him getting hauled out of the airport to be hanged for war crimes. We can dream.

They forgot to add that he ran the "G. Gordon Liddy Institute" in the late 80s, which was a school for mercenaries to learn executive protection and bail enforcement.
