@Ragman,
Ragman, Spiggy was the former Governor of Maryland and as Vice President he resigned in disgrace after being charged with taking bribes and tax evasion. These crimes were committed in Maryland but caught up with his majesty while he was Nixon's attack dog.
I know this might come as a shock, but Spiro wasn't my favorite Governor, I thought of him as a preening peacock of pretentious pompomafication. I threw that last word in you maintain a soupçon of honest brokerage firm on the Capitol improvements that voters who have a photo idea are allowed to extract their poll privilege to the full odiferous waffling expected by the overlords of rationing constitutional brain sparks.
