Will history view George Bush as the worst president ever?
  • This could be our year in Texas. We're hoping for #1 in college football, college baseball, college basketball, and bad presidents - all in the same year! It's the coveted, seemingly unreachable, grand slam! We're number one! We're number one! We're number one!
  • But why stop at American Presidents? Who was the worst leader of any major country ever? Caligula? Louis the Mad? Ethelred the Unready? (I wonder if his underlings called him "Your Unpreparedness").
  • There's tough competition. America has had presidents who were the kind of non-take-charge guys to make Michael "Heckuva Job, Brownie" Brown seem to be a re-incarnation of Henry V. Despite the strong field, many scholars feel Dubya has The Wrong Stuff
  • Anyway, kidding aside, here's the key paragraph: "The History News Network at George Mason University has just polled historians informally on the Bush record. Four hundred and fifteen answered. Fifty said they thought he was the worst president ever. Worse than Buchanan."
