President Warren G. Harding was a damn freak

Discussion in 'Sports and News' started by LongTimeListener, Jul 7, 2014.

  1. He's prolly the most corrupt. His wife order his papers burned following his death, which likely prevented history from learning the depth and tentacles of political corruption.


    Worst? That's typically reserved for guys like Buchanan, Fillmore and Pierce. Harding is up there, yeah no question.
    Universal ... I think Buchanan is the top choice.

    Buchanan certainly is. He may not have been corrupt, but he sure wasn't willing to be a leader when the United States really needed one. And then he thought the Supreme Court would settle the slavery issue once and for all, and all the Court did was make things worse.

    No doubt Harding was corrupt, but the stuff about illicit affairs is nothing new with a lot of Presidents. Did someone say JFK? Or FDR? Or Jefferson? (Hey, three Presidents who get put on a pedestal, so it doesn't matter if they cheated on their wives, amirite?)

    Someday somebody needs to make a borderline-softcore movie about Harding.

    Bruce McGill would be perfect.

    My favorite is McKinley. Judging by the size of his memorial in Canton, you'd have thought the man cured polio, ended the civil war and saved seven orphans from a burning fire during his four years in the White House.

    Note to fin-de-siecle Canton: Getting shot does not make your boy Lincoln.

    I got $20 for the person who comes up with an X-rated use for "Gamaliel."

    Well, apparently not. I knew he had some scandals, but not that many.
