As much as I'd like to smile, I have to face the fact that we have had Eagleton and Lieberman. tonyt53 Jul 2016 #1
No comparison, Lieberman was an ass, but Eagleton was demonized because of depression? FSogol Jul 2016 #3
The hell you say. Very much the same. Cheney did to Lieberman what Benson did to Quayle. tonyt53 Jul 2016 #4

Pretty crappy.

Both Eagleton and Lieberman are light years better than Palin, Quayle, Pence, and Agnew.

Cheney spanked him in their debate. Evidently so much that Lieberman fell in love with anything Cheney said or did after that. Eagleton had more issues than simple depression also. Agnew was a very intelligent man, but not as good at hiding things as Nixon was.

Also a hoosier, coincidentally.
