observation of American Politics
From Bill Moyers, “Listening to America”, 1970
“I like Agnew because he stands up to the Communists. I disagree with him about Vietnam because I think the best advice there came from the Smothers Brothers. They said just announce we’ve won and pull out. That’s what I would do. But I still like Agnew. I like him better than I do the President. Agnew speaks his mind and Nixon hides his.”
Anyone politician out for “announcing we won and pulling out” would get labeled with a clever alliteration spoken by Spiro Agnew and written by William Safire or Pat Buchanan about being a Communist and not receive this man’s vote.
