1989: White House staffers decide to purchase some crack cocaine so Pres. Bush can hold the illegal drug in his hands during a national address. But on the first attempt, the drug dealer didn't show up. On the second try, an undercover drug agent's body microphone didn't work. Today, trying for the third time, Bush's team scores the crack, but the camera operator videotaping the deal misses the action as a homeless person assaults him. He could have just asked his son.

Not to be confused with:
