Pennsylvania state Treasurer who committed suicide on TV in 1987. He was about to be sentenced and sent to prison. He called a press conference, read his suicide note, and blew his brains out with a .357 magnum.

It was snowing that day in Harrisburg, and lots of kids were home from school. Their cartoons were interrupted by this breaking news, in all its graphic glory.

Seared lots of young minds, it did. And this was pre-internet, mind you, so they weren't used to seeing stuff.
Whoh, did you see that? That Budd Dwyer dude just blew his fucking brains out!

to commit suicide on television (like the Pennsylvania Treasurer, Budd Dwyer.
The television station would not air the interview live, becuase the subject was facing ruination, and they feared he could pull a Budd Dwyer.

When getting a blowjob from a hot girl, you cum so hard that it shoots out her nose simulating Budd Dwyer's public suicide. To be a true Budd Dwyer, this should be performed in front of a group of unsuspecting reporters and film crews while "Hey Man, Nice Shot" by Filter plays in the background.
Kris says, "Last night Faith got me so worked up at the party that I whipped out my summer sausage and gave her a Budd Dwyer right in front of everyone. I blew so hard the cum shot out her nose and she looked just like Budd."

John says, "Hey man, nice shot!"
