George W. Bush and the very small band of people who still like him — Karl Rove, Condoleezza Rice, his wife — are fond of saying that history will vindicate his Presidency.
Well, they're going to have to wait a bit for that. C-SPAN has released its 2009 Historians Presidential Leadership Survey, and the news is not good for the Worst Person Who Ever Lived.
Bush clocks in at #36 — two slots below Herbert Hoover. Which makes us cats think, Oh, great. This means that we're struggling with an economic mess left by a guy more terrible than the President who was paralyzed by the Great Depression.
Languishing behind Bush are Millard Fillmore, Warren G. Harding, William Henry Harrison, Franklin Pierce, Andrew Johnson and James Buchanan. With those guys scraping the bottom of the Presidential barrel, we're certain that the Bushies are shaking their heads but hoping that, over time, their man will be able to claw his way up the list.
Hm. We cats have a hope of our own. Surely somebody in that sorry-ass group at the bottom has a redeeming quality that historians have yet to discover — and cause Bush to sink even lower.
We're rooting for Fillmore.
P.S. We cats are proud to report that this is our 500th post. Thanks for reading! We PURR at you.
UPDATE: An affectionate swipe of the paw to the faithful feline fan who's pointed out that the father of the Worst Person Who Ever Lived was ranked number 18 on this list — nearly 20 slots ahead of his worthless son. Gee, wasn't the whole point of Bush II to do better than dad?
