Marx Man Missed Mark

Did you know the FBI once listed Groucho Marx as a potential threat to the life of Richard Nixon?

Marx was listed as a threat when he joked in 1971 "I think the only hope for this country is Nixon's assassination."
Not many found it funny, least of all Nixon and the FBI.

  1. I was looking a little closer at the caricature of Marx; that really doesn't look like a cigar in his mouth.

    Looks like a hogleg doobie.
