Bad Vice Presidents (can't use Cheney)

Name the worst Vice President that we have had. Can't use Cheney, because I am afraid he would win by a mile.

The lady had taste.

Crooked bastard

A surprise pick by Nixon, a person almost totally new to politics, and a person with clear signs of corruption.

What wouldn't I give to still have the wristwatch featuring him as mickey mouse.

it was in a Spiro Agnew rolling paper

I would replace Ford with Tyler.

One of "His Accidency"'s records will never be broken: Fathered 22 children with two wives, as I recall.

No wonder he's wearing that shit-eatin' grin.

Spent the whole evening with him, in Detroit. Great guy; very down to earth, with a wonderful sense of humor. I asked him if he agreed that W. was the worst president ever. He was no fan, but held special animosity for Andrew Johnson, who was a horrid racist. He cited chapter and verse about the history of the Andrew Johnson Administration, and I mean not just some broad brush, but specific acts, laws, etc., and quoted Johnson statements. Wow. Brilliant. A very special evening. We had a hell of a time finding a bar open in downtown Detroit with food after 10 near Wayne State University, but we persevered. What a night! He convinced me, so I voted Andrew Johnson. But thanks for adding Tyler, too. (Hey, there's a slogan - Something something, and Tyler, too. . . )

He was in that office for what, five or six weeks?

Although he gets some props for giving a drunken rant of a speech when sworn in.

But of course,, an awful, awful president.

Of course, he was a lousy President. Pity the Whigs, who chose Tyler, who didn't support any of their platform, and spent his term blocking them at every turn.

And yeah, then he turned traitor. Fuck Tyler, just not for his brief Vice Presidency.

I'm surprised no one has brought up Aaron Burr. Or John C. Calhoun.

I love this stuff.

All he's known for today is his famous, "All this country needs is a good five cent cigar." When in the Fall of 1919 Wilson was felled by a very serious stroke and effectively didn't govern for several months, many dems wanted Marshall to declare Wilson incapacitated and take over in a time when there were serious problems being ignored such as high inflation, unemployment, strikes and, of course, the Peace Treaty following WWII. Marshall declined to do so, in part, because he would have to give up the fees he received for lectures around the country.

I did too, I put him in the poll for the best just to see if anybody would vote for him!

Urgh.

From Kentucky, Veep 1856-1860. Went on to be Confederate Secretary of War. A US veep who became a secessionist rather than a former secessionist trying to go on to become US Veep.

He added fuel to McCarthyism's flame.

I picked Quayle. Don't know why I picked him over Bush I. I just did.

So I guess the Palin pick would follow tradition!!!

Not in a political sense, but he did kill our first Secretary of the Treasury.

Maybe we should bring him back for our Secretary of the Treasury...
