The Worst President in History?

One of America's leading historians assesses George W. Bush George W. Bush's presidency appears headed for colossal historical disgrace. Barring a cataclysmic event on the order of the terrorist attacks of September 11th, after which the public might rally around the White House once again, there seems to be little the administration can do to avoid being ranked on the lowest tier of U.S. presidents. And that may be the best-case scenario. Many historians are now wondering whether Bush, in fact, will be remembered as the very worst president in all of American history.

From time to time, after hours, I kick back with my colleagues at Princeton to argue idly about which president really was the worst of them all. For years, these perennial debates have largely focused on the same handful of chief executives whom national polls of historians, from across the ideological and political spectrum, routinely cite as the bottom of the presidential barrel. Was the lousiest James Buchanan, who, confronted with Southern secession in 1860, dithered to a degree that, as his most recent biographer has said, probably amounted to disloyalty -- and who handed to his successor, Abraham Lincoln, a nation already torn asunder? Was it Lincoln's successor, Andrew Johnson, who actively sided with former Confederates and undermined Reconstruction? What about the amiably incompetent Warren G. Harding, whose administration was fabulously corrupt? Or, though he has his defenders, Herbert Hoover, who tried some reforms but remained imprisoned in his own outmoded individualist ethic and collapsed under the weight of the stock-market crash of 1929 and the Depression's onset? The younger historians always put in a word for Richard M. Nixon, the only American president forced to resign from office.

6. I guess the David Spade joke applies there too...

...though it was directed at Paris Hilton's boyfriend, to paraphrase:

We're sick of hearing about Rick Solomon. He's not a movie star. The only thing he's been in is Paris Hilton.

7. lol!

I have never seen them in a RS magazine. Now, when I get my hair done just for the heck of it I leaf through a People magazine. I always ask my hair guy "who are these people"? Apparently I am very deprived.

8. His brother is more famous than he is, nowadays, from that Dancing with

the Stars program (that was must-see tv in our household, as we had two ADDICTS of that show onboard...the favorite was George Hamilton, but when he got bounced, they switched to that guy's kid brother! The year before, they rooted for that Mister Peterman guy all the way to the finals!!).
