Though Spiro Agnew said it, Pat Buchanan wrote it for him. Along with nattering nabobs of negativism came their allies, the pussalanimous pussyfooters, as well as the tomentose purveyors of something or other. Pat had a great time. (Tomentose, sp?, sent reporters scurrying to their dictionaries. It referred to having thickly matted hair.)
