Jerry was actually the most athletic president we had had. I believe he was an all American as a center for Michigan. He was tall and kept hitting his head on Marine One. Again he wasn't clumsy, just dumb. It was televised over and over again and soon enough Chevy Chase could get a laugh by tripping or falling down. Oh, about that falling down thing.

He was acknowledged as a good guy but not that bright. Who remembers WIN buttons? Ford thought that he could Whip Inflation Now with buttons and a theme song by Yip Harbor who penned "Buddy can you spare a dime?" It didn't catch fire the way he had hoped. Seems that inflation was a bit more complicated, besides the rush to produce 200,000,000 buttons pushed economic indicators up for several months. Ford set the intellectual pace for succeeding Republican presidents, only Bush-the-smarter showed above average intelligence.

Douglas on the grounds of something like "Just Because". As I recall, Ford, while House Minority Leader, wanted to impeach Supreme Court Justice William O.

Great Cheney joke, too. Also, at the time of Adams’ asphexiation, it was rumored he was tripping on X with Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings.

Sigh... Good times. Also, re John Adams and autoerotic asphyxiation - Adams actually died BASE jumping from the highest point in Quincy, MA (a neighbor's heifer). It was John Quincy Adams who died from autoerotic asphyxiation. Please make a note of it. Man, remember when our presidents were simply clumsy, dottering or perpetually horny?
