On this day in 1973,
Vice President Spiro Agnew, serving under
President Nixon, resigned when he was formally charged with having accepted bribes totaling more than $100,000. To date, Agnew is the only Vice President in U.S. history to resign because of criminal charges. Today we have the song
I Take Bribes by
THE CLOSE LOBSTERS. Happy Friday!
