Does this guy look familiar?

I kinda doubt we will be hearing from him, except maybe in the voting booth in November.

Richard Nixon's VP who resigned in disgrace before his boss Tricky Dick also resigned in disgrace. All of that great Republican legacy they can talk about at their upcoming convention.

a guy with enough political experience under his belt to commit multiple felonies and not get sent to jail.

A real Silent American, Spiro T. Asshole!

enough said

judicial dept...

it was the media. Not entirely corporate owned then, but well on its way.

I was a kid but remember him well. Something about him resigning from office due to a scandal...a Republican of course, doing what they do best.

in the late summer of 1973, Agnew was under investigation by the United States Attorney's office in Baltimore, Maryland, on charges of extortion, tax fraud, bribery and conspiracy. In October, he was formally charged with having accepted bribes totaling more than $100,000 while holding office as Baltimore County Executive, Governor of Maryland, and Vice President of the United States. On October 10, 1973, Agnew was allowed to plead no contest to a single charge that he had failed to report $29,500 of income received in 1967, with the condition that he resign the office of Vice President. Nixon replaced him by appointing by then House Minority Leader Gerald R. Ford to the office of Vice President.
