During the Nixon administration, White House aides discussed how they might bring Frank Sinatra into their camp as an ally of the President.
I vaguely recall reading in some book of a golf game that was arranged at one point with Nixon, Sinatra, Bob Hope and a fourth person. Apparently, the night before, Sinatra called Nixon's aides and asked if the golf carts would hold two people or four. He was told they held two, and that there would be two carts. Sinatra announced that he would ride with the President and that he would be furious — might even leave — if Hope rode with Nixon. The White House then checked with Hope who demanded he ride with Nixon.
Emergency meetings were held at the White House since no one wanted to piss off either Sinatra or Hope. They finally settled it by making the foursome into a sixsome, inviting along Vice-President Agnew and someone else, and getting a third cart…so Agnew rode with Nixon. Neither Hope nor Sinatra could take umbrage at that. One of the few things that administration did right.
