What US vice president referred to his critics as "nattering nabobs of negativism"?

when he was running for Governor of Maryland, he went by his middle, not first, name. his campaign song was to the tune of "Our kind of town Chicago is" , and the first line was "Our kind of man, Ted Agnew is"

General assessment was that not only was he a crook, he wasn’t very good at it.

Was a good governor of Maryland before moving on to DC.
