Hollywood's Own Watergate?

This Pellicano case just keeps dragging more and more people into it, doesn't it? It's starting to paint a very bad picture of Hollywood insider politics. When directors are getting wiretaps on producers and agents are wiretapping their clients, it just starts to seem like a madhouse. The latest to get sucked in is director John McTiernan, who helmed several really big action films of the past two decades, including Die Hard and Predator. The idea that he hired Pellicano for wiretapping purposes is just mind-blowing to me. This could be Hollywood's version of Watergate, where one little crime starts to draw in more and more people, until it reached all the way to the President. Just crazy.
