Spiro Agnew. The man, in spite of his MANY negatives, did have a way with words.

Spiro T. Agnew said it. William Safire wrote it for him.

Spiro Agnew, Nixon's Veep (who, as you pointed out, also left under a cloud). Originally from Maryland.

Cheers!

I’m sure you got lots of responses, but in case I missed them, it was Spiro Agnew, Nixon’s VP.
