Warren Harding doesn't make it to the short-list? Does the Teapot Dome scandal mean nothing to today's youth?
Nepotism, cronyism, partisan appointments, bribes, broken election promises ... if not for a fortuitous "suicide" half his cabinet would have ended up in prison.
Surely he makes the top 5?!
And what about Calvin Coolidge? Laissez-faire government, the breaking of the League of Nations, deregulation of banks and the subsequent destabilization of the dollar... Doesn't Coolidge deserve some recognition?
I gave Millard Fillmore, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover a pass, but you are absolutely right, Doc, they merit a seat in the bottom ten, and Harding or Hoover would round out my top five with the bhoys who made the poll.
