TRIVIA

Fred makes an elaborate reference to Watergate, describing a movie called "The Day of the Night Creeper." Fred says "it's all about an army of big bugs surrounding Washington DC," adding that the "bugs are crawling up the steps, eating their way toward the President." CREEP was a pejorative nickname for the CRP (the Committee to Re-Elect the President) that played a role in the Watergate break-in. Bugs (listening devices) also played a major role in the scandal that eventually brought down President Nixon in August 1974.
