Okay, is that one?

I seem to remember hearing that he was the guy that helped derail George McGovern's 1972 campaign with some off-color remarks to the press.

He derailed it, alright. He was McGovern’s first VP pick {MO} for a few days until it was revealed that he’d been in an insane asylum and taken, oh, 20 volts or so.

Eagleton was McGovern's first running mate. Then it was revealed that he had been under the care of a shrink. He got the boot, and Sargent Schriver (RFK's brother-in-law) was brought onto the ticket.
