In 1972, campaigning as George McGovern’s running mate, Sargent Shriver made a stop in Youngstown, Ohio. Former Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill was campaigning along with him.
After a visiting with some steelworkers after their shift ended, O’Neill teased Shriver that his brothers-in-law always were too cheap to buy a round of drinks at rallies. Shriver agreed, and invited everyone to a nearby bar. He ordered beers for all and then announced “Make mine a Courvoisier!”
