They use their offices, their media organs and the nation's employers to mak people think what they want. Their playbook is NAZI old-school.

My memories of Spiro, besides the kickback thing:

He is the subject of the smallest book I've ever owned: "The Wit & Wisdom of Spiro T. Agnew." It's 20-or so pages were filled with his quotes, like:

"If you've seen one slum, you've seen them all."

It also had great illustrations. But, at essence, it was a very thin book.

Thanks for your excellent post. The essential relationship of these GOP stalwarts is their criminality. They don't get tapped to be veep, prez or anything else unless they, themselves, are maleable and manageable.
