Herblock humorously equates the legal maneuvering Richard Nixon did with the Supreme Court and the Senate Watergate Hearings Committee over the White House tapes to an erotic bubble dance. The House had instituted impeachment hearings on May 9, 1974. When the first of Nixon’s inner circle, his Special Counsel Charles Colson, pled guilty, Nixon’s implication was further exposed, and it became clear that his hold on the presidency was about to burst.
