Frank Drebin and his boss, Washington, D.C. police commissioner Annabelle Brumford (played by Jacqueline Brookes) attend a dinner function at the White House. Among the guests are President George Bush, his chief of staff, John Sununu, Nelson Mandela and his then-wife Winnie, and others. The President announces that he will base his recommendation for the country's energy program on Dr. Albert Meinheimer's advice at the National Press Club dinner the following Tuesday night. The heads of the fossil fuel and nuclear industries look over at each other suspiciously at this point, but the antics of Frank Drebin distract from the undertones, as he accidentally injures Barbara Bush several times. The names of the fossil fuel lobbies are ironic acronyms: the oil industry's is Society of Petroleum Industry Leaders, SPIL; the coal industry's, Society for MOre Coal Energy - or SMOKE; and the nuclear industry's, the Key Atomic Benefits Office Of Mankind - or K.A.B.O.O.M. Interestingly, Dr. Meinheimer reveals (after the credits) that he was going to also give his results at the White House dinner at the start but because of Frank Drebin "making such a ruckus" he was unable - so almost all the events of the movie can be blamed at Frank Drebin's behavior at the start of the movie. (The rest, of course, can be attributed to Drebin's investigation of the bombing at Meinheimer's office the night of the White House dinner.) [show less]
