(laughter) an f.b.i. investigation connected the watergate break-in to an elite white house dirty tricks group known as "the plumbers " because they were tasked with plugging leaks. and because of their ample ass cracks. (laughter) the plumbers were part of nixon's political operation, the "committee to re-elect the president," or "creep." a name that somehow escaped the scrutiny of "nixon's undercommittee for terminating self-indicting acronym choices," or "nutsac."
