Actually, he was just a klutz, especially when it came to conspiracy:

Excellent article.
It does me good to see Liddy and Roger Stone mentioned on the same page.
I’ve shaken hands with one of them, and fucked the other’s wife, while he slapped me on the butt.
Stone opined (in one of his crappy books that I refused to buy, but read in the library) that Liddy was an idiot). They shared a warm hate-hate relationship.
In the early 1980s, National Lampoon ran a brilliant, hilarious article by Ellis Weiner called "My Struggle": the sequel to “Will”. It spoke volumes.
I remember his telkevised debate with Moon Unit Zappa.
“Radio host and TV star” are not the two first descriptors most people would identify him with. Good riddance.

Yes, we all remember how George McGovern called for the proletariat masses to rise up and overthrow the capitalists.
That took an unexpected turn.
I was going to mention these.
A guy named Shakespeare has more opportunities for greatness than ordinary schlubs like you and I.
Bob Crane? Is that you? I thought you were dead!
Nah. Crane died years before Roger and Nydia were married.
Having read various interviews with him over the years, I always had the impression that he was convinced he was far smarter than he may have actually been.
But, my primary “recollection” of him is that a friend of mine, who had a weird sense of humor, once named her adorable kitten G. Gordon Kitty.
Yes! It’s that goofy Maxwell Smart confidence. Which got him into show biz.
“Watergate. Missed it by that much!”
What fools you mortals be! For doubting me.
I remember all the bad blood he stirred being anti-superhero. And then it turned out he was from Apokolips, and…
What?
Oh. Never mind.
He did have quite a dark side…
G. Gordon Godfrey, right? Who cares about Shakespeare when you can quote John Byrne?
The anti-superhero, G. Gordon Liddy
