Dick Tuck & Political Mudslinging How One Man Made Richard Nixon’s Life A Living Hell

Dick Tuck & Political Mudslinging

The Art of Practical Joking You must have patience and let your victim suffer until exactly the right moment, when you can finally let them in on the joke you have played On one hand, it is only human nature to be curious to see how far you can push a person…on the other is the fact you may actually turn your friend into an enemy

Nixon-Douglas Senate Campaign Tuck decided that he would undermine Nixon by getting himself hired as a campaign worker Nixon had not planned to speak on the IMF “Dick Tuck, you've made your last advance”

1960 Kennedy-Nixon Debates Those who listened to the debate felt Nixon won, but on camera Nixon looked tired, ragged and unshaven “That's all right, Mr. Nixon…he beat you last night, but you'll win next time”

Mack The Knife “Oh, the shark has pretty teeth dear, and he shows em, pearly white, just a jack knife has macheath dear, and he keeps it way out of sight”

Nixon Chinatown Rally At a rally in Chinatown, Tuck distributed signs and fortune cookies that read “Welcome Nixon!” Below the English welcome, a line of Chinese letters read “How about the Hughes loan?”

Nixon’s Whistle Stop Tuck dressed up as a train conductor and signaled a train to leave the station while Nixon was delivering a speech from its rear “The Democrat Pixie of 1964”

California State Senate TUCK "Just wait till the dead vote comes in.“ "The people have spoken, the bastards."

Nixon’s The One! The fodder this time was Nixon’s 1968 campaign slogan “Nixon’s the One!” Tuck hired lots of pregnant women to show up at a Nixon rally waving “Nixon’s the One!” signs

Nixon Paranoia At one point, a huge shipment of buttons printed in Greek, Chinese, and Italian arrived at Nixon's campaign headquarters Tuck hadn’t touched the buttons at all…

Donald Segretti Nixon wanted his campaign to develop a “Dick Tuck capability” “Shows what a master Dick Tuck is...Segretti's hasn’t been a bit similar”

Responsible for Watergate?!? Tuck is mentioned in an October 1972 Oval Office tape when Nixon is speaking to H.R. Haldeman “Dick Tuck did that to me…let's get out what Dick Tuck did!”

Tuck’s Modern Take on Politics “I never tried to be malicious…it's just the difference between altering fortune cookies to make a candidate look funny and altering State Department cables to make it look as if a former President were a murderer”
