Spiro Agnew was an extortionist, liar, and accepter of bribes. Yet he is considered by some as only one of the worst Vice Presidents in history. He slightly increased the sum total of good in the world when he died this day 20 years ago aged 77.

I hate to do this to ya, but:

 

Nope!

 

Eleanor did die of brain cancer, but Kara had a heart attack.

 

Also, Kara died September 16th, while Eleanor died on the 17th.

 

But to make up for it you could have added they were both 51.
