WWSD ..... What Would Spiro Do?

[RedEarth]

Dick, what would Spiro do?



Here's what Spiro did....Dick will you be #3?

After Nixon and Agnew were elected to a second term, Agnew became the focus of an investigation by the U.S. Attorney's office in Maryland for financial irregularities while he held state office. Rather than face trial, Agnew resigned and entered a plea of no contest to charges of evading income tax. He was sentenced to three years probation and fined $10,000. After he left office Agnew avoided publicity and went into business as an international broker. In 1981 he was ordered by a Maryland court to repay more than $248,000 to cover bribes he took while in state office.

Agnew was the second vice president to resign from office -- the first, John C. Calhoun, resigned to take a seat to become a U.S. senator... Nixon chose Gerald Ford to be Agnew's replacement as vice president... In 1976 Agnew published a novel, The Canfield Decision... Political columnists William Safire and Pat Buchanan used to write speeches for Agnew

1. Compared to Cheney, Spiro is a pillar of virtue, a fount of integrity.

Spiro didn't kill almost 2000 Americans and who knows how many thousand innocent Iraqis.

edit: I got to thinking maybe it wouldn't be obvious that I was trying to sound like a freep with my comparisons. The sound to me like something they would write.
