Attaturk puts the Chimperor in historical perspective –
“Grant and Harding’s Administrations have always set the gold standard of out and out theft, but neither of them were involved other than appointing and trusting the crooks — they were simply grossly incompetent. Nixon has set the standard for personal malfeasance of a President through his own actions; Buchanan and Pierce have always been standard bearers for not just watching as disasters came, but helping to strike the match. Polk has always been the clear example the nation had for starting and fighting illegal wars — poor LBJ always coming in second even in the bad stuff.
Well, in George Bush we have managed to have a confluence of events. We have the incompetent detachment of a Grant & Harding; the malevolence of a Nixon; the pettiness of Buchanan & Pierce; and the war mongering of Polk all in one smirking little package.”
