History Channel took a little jab at Bush

Anyone watch that program on Lincoln they have going?

I wish I could remember the person speaking but he was talking about how at the on-set and first couple years of the Civil War quite a few Americans saw Lincoln as a dictator for the actions he was taking.

This guy went on to say how other Presidents who I will not name, trying to call themselves War Presidents tried to pull the same thing. Then said, "War on Terror, might as well have a War on Dandruff."

I know I chopped it up but that was the basic jist heh.


One thing I never knew though, Lincoln was the only President to actually be in the front during a war and take fire from enemy troops. Apparently during a battle at one of the forts around DC, Lincoln went out to it. Southern troops were within firing range, a Union officer standing beside Lincoln was shot. Amazing that he came out unscathed, espicially being the big target he was and standing out. Never will see Bush in a fighting zone or say Falluja.

at some of the battles in and around DC.

Madison also was with the Army when the British sacked Washington DC.

it was Gore Vidal who made the dandruff observation.
