I lifted this title of N-words from the disgraced former vice-president who served with Richard Nixon. Just last Tuesday, I attended a meet-and-greet event at the Boundary County Fairgrounds for Congressman Russ Fulcher.
Of the approximate 55-minutes of his speech, some of which he fielded questions, Fulcher launched into a diatribe which consumed about 90-percent of his time. It was shocking to hear such a litany of what he doesn’t like, who he doesn’t like, what’s wrong with government and so forth.
Congressman, did it ever occur to you how negative you sound? Frankly, he left me with the impression that he hates America.
As he continued, I harkened back to an a**-chewing I received from a salty old Marine Corps sergeant-major back in 1974, when I was a young corporal who desperately deserved it. He lit into me like crap through a goose and said, “Son, let me tell you something. When everything around you looks like a pile of s**t, it’s time to go look in the mirror. There is where you will find the source of your problem.”
That was a life and career changing moment that I have never forgotten. Congressman, you would be well-served to take his advice.

Are you implying that U.S. Representative Russ Fulcher has left office in disgrace?
Agnew used Nabob improperly. Even in the 19th Century, Nabob referred to the ULTRA Wealthy of San Francisco who resided in “Nob” Hill like Leland Stanford. So when Agnew attacked the press with “nattering nabobs of negativity, Agnew was trying unsuccessfully to enlist the sympathy of the working class.
Russ Fultures net worth in 2018 was LESS than $106,000.
