    FDR’s VP John Nance Garner, who died 50 years ago today, was probably misquoted saying Vice Presidency wasn’t worth “pitcher of warm spit”:pic.twitter.com/RNDdoTelnS

        Sir, I love watching you on different shows on #MSNBC because you bring history to life. Hated history in school but can't get enough now.

        It was "a bucket of warm piss", no? Cactus Jack, with eyebrows like feral caterpillars and a mouth full of blackened pearl.

        Currently reading McCullough's "Truman" and I believe he quotes this as "piss", not spit.

        Nowadays, the VP is heir apparent to the P. That doesn't always work. Gore?

        "Warm piss" would've been the phrase, I believe.
