Spiro Agnew was the Vice President of the United States under President Richard Nixon. Forced to resign in 1973 for tax evasion, he was replaced by Gerald Ford.
History[edit]
A clock with a Spiro Agnew caricature clock face on was used in the bombing of Mr. Burns' lab. Mona Simpson was one of the people who set the bomb.[1]

Homer then started imagining that very thing happening.[2]
Mr. Smithers listed Agnew as one of the Great Toadies in History for being "Nixon's chief fall guy".[3]
An animatronic of Spiro Agnew was seen in the Hall of Vice Presidents at Kissimmee St. Nick Theme Park and Resort.[4]
