DICK TUCK

A master of political dirty tricks, Tuck was then working for the Republicans against the election of William Clinton. The web site provided “dirt” and negative material about Clinton, much of which was exaggerated or untrue.

In Tuck’s most famous dirty trick, he had signs printed welcoming Nixon. The first line was in English but the second was in Chinese Characters. Tuck, working against Nixon, had the signs printed and pretending to be a Nixon aide passed them out to the Nixon staff who gave them to people in the crowd. The Chinese 2nd line referred to the scandal where Nixon had taken a “loan” from Howard Hughes—the financier and industrialist and Nixon was desperately trying to get that story supplanted by other news. Tuck also did the same with Chinese fortune cookies and Nixon people enthusiastically distributed them.
