Description

Pinback button disparaging President Richard Nixon, c. 1973 1 1/2" cello in excellent condition. Reference to Martha Mitchell, wife of Attorney General John Mitchell, who began contacting reporters when her husband's role in the Watergate scandal became known, earning her the title "the Mouth of the South". Nixon would later tell interviewer David Frost that Martha was a major distraction and that "If it hadn't been for Martha Mitchell, there'd have been no Watergate."
