The Resume

    (December 9, 1924-December 4, 1993)
    Born in Norfolk, Virginia
    Birth name was Frank Fiorini
    Member of the CIA-sponsored undercover organization Operation 40
    Participated in the Bay of Pigs invasion to overthrow Fidel Castro (1961)
    Watergate burglar (1972)
    Served 13 months in prison for the break-in

Why he might be annoying:

    He was arrested for illegal weapons possession while running guns to Cuba (1958).
    He participated in several attempts to assassinate Fidel Castro.
    His anti-Castro activities were reportedly financed by mobsters Meyer Lansky and Santos Trafficante.
    Several conspiracy theorists think he participated in the JFK assassination.
    After Watergate, he sued the Committee to Re-Elect the President, claiming they had misled him into believing the break-in was sanctioned by the government.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He served in the Marines during World War II.
    He was a die-hard anti-Communist.
    He said Watergate ultimately benefited the nation because, 'I feel that the laws that came about after Watergate didn't give the President - whether Nixon or anybody else - the free rein to do what a dictator would do.'
