Richard Nixon anagram?
Michael Grossman
I was thinking tonight that I had heard once of a famous (infamous?)
anagram for Richard Nixon. Not sure if it was for "Richard Nixon" or
"Richard M. Nixon" or "Richard Millhouse Nixon". Then again, this
could be a brain.legend.
Any help would be appreciated.

A few minutes of tinkering with the invaluable Main Sanitary Nag (Anagram
Insanity) service at http://www.infobahn.com/pages/anagram.html revealed only
Nick din ox as an anagram of Dick Nixon, and nothing from Richard M. Nixon, or
Richard Milhous Nixon. (Keep in mind that the Trickster's middle name is
properly spelled with one 'l' & no 'e'.)

I am sure that what you are thinking of is actually the famous anagram
for "Spiro Agnew" which is:
"Grow a penis!"
"Richard Millhouse Nixon" reveals a few such as "Churlish and loonier
mix" but the classic from that period is above.

The rub here is that Milhouse has only one L in it.

Section 48 of Ross Eckler's *Making the Alphabet Dance* includes a list of
Presidential anagrams from Lincoln to Bush, most of them not especially
good. Nixon's is 'Hush! Nix criminal odor.' The only ones I think have
much to recommend them are Grover Cleveland = Govern, clever lad; Theodore
Roosevelt = he overrode loot set; and my favorite, Ronald Wilson Reagan =
no, darlings, no ERA law. Some may prefer the Reaganagram 'insane Anglo
warlord'.

And the even bigger rub: there is no "e" in Milhous. Source:

The great orthographical contest has long subsisted between
etymology and pronunciation. It has been demanded, on one hand,
that men should write as they speak; but, as it has been shown
that this conformity never was attained in any language, and
that it is not more easy to persuade men to agree exactly in
speaking than in writing, it may be asked, with equal propriety,
why men do not rather speak as they write.
-- Samuel Johnson, "The Plan of an English Dictionary" (1747).

I prefer "A long-insane Warlord" for "Ronald Wilson Reagan"
Others:
"President William Clinton" = "Nice, limp, wild total sinner"
"William Clinton" = "An ill clown: I'm it"
"President George Bush" = "He, biggest rude person"
"George Herbert Walker Bush" = "Huge, berserk, rebel warthog"

A friend pointed out during the '80's that RONALD WILSON REAGAN is an
anagram of INSANE ANGLO WARLORD. Still is, for all I know. Could this
possibly be the "legendary" anagram which the original poster was
interested in? It seemed pretty significant to us at the time.

Thanks. I copied the spelling from the original poster but no problem.
How about "Do churlish or inane mix" or "Ah, cruel mix in dishonor" or
"Ruin his honored climax"?

Does Eckler include the campaign slogan devised by Franklin Delano
Roosevelt's opponent (Alfred M Landon, 1936 Presidential Election): "Vote
for Landon ere all sink"?

My favourite is the anagram for a Tory party MP here in the UK.
Virginia Bottomley turns out to be an anagram of
"i'm an evil tory bigot".

OK. Third time lucky.....
"An indoor churlish mix",
"No! No! churlish, arid mix",
"Dishonor crux, nail him",
"Lord! Irish, inhuman cox",
"Shh! crux liar dominion",
"Oh, I climax horrid nuns"
and "President Richard Milhous Nixon"
"Horrid, intrinsic human explodes"
"Sexier turnip and childish moron"
"Punish trendier dishonor climax"
"I'm churlish toxin and dire person"
"Sixth, municipal dishonorer nerd"
plus quite a few others.

On the subject of Anagrams for Members of State, here in the U.K.
we have a Minister of Parliament in the (only just) ruling Conservative
Party whose name is Virginia Bottomley.
Yes, I know that's pretty bad in itself but get this anagram....
"I'm an evil Tory Bigot"
Close to the bone baby.
Cheers,
Simon
