Time for a rousing game of "who are they talking about?"

No cheating. Don't look at the bottom until you have made a guess at these, and enjoy!

1)
Historical perspective of their time in office:He was a moron. He knew he was a moron. He could not believe it when he was nominated, asking his handlers if they were sure there was no one more qualified: “I am a man of limited talents.” Nearly everyone he appointed was corrupt. His friends exploited his dimwitted good nature, taking everything they could grab. His own father once told him, “...it's a good thing you weren't born a girl, because you can't say 'no.' ”

Historical quotes by others:“It reminds me of stale bean soup, of college yells, of dogs barking idiotically through endless nights. It is so bad that a sort of grandeur creeps into it...” On his use of the english language.



2)
Historical perspective of their time in office:Was such a dismally inept nonentity, with such a shameful legacy of nonfeasance during a period of grave crisis, that his party splintered in disarray.

Historical quotes by others:“He acted with his usual strong determination, dogged stubbornness and confused insight.”



3)
Historical perspective of their time in office:He was a high spirited person. Unfortunately those spirits were mostly distilled alcohol, taken straight, in quantities that could incapacitate a hippo. He actually was arrested after running over an old woman, most likely while drunk.

Historical quotes by others:“The incompetence of his administration has not stopped it from vigorously defending the president's sole authority to control the execution of the law.”

2. I remember the quote "It's a good thing you weren't born a girl...." from

an American history class in college back in the '70's. Always loved it. God how I wish our scandals were still on the scale of Teapot Dome. Those guys were amatuers by todays Republican standards.
