Episode notes

The girls are totally enamored with theire behind the scenes of view of the white house. But then they discover nixon's secret taping system. The big joke in this ludicrous retelling is that the girls are responsible for everything. American democracy is strong because there are good people working behind the scenes. An we syston works.
