Another new high for you Dan! I don't know about you, but my guess is Reagan could have bumped Cobain for the #11 spot had it not been for Cobain's suicide. And who is that Mao Zedong guy?

I thought Fred Blassie would have fared better. At least # 3. Perhaps he and Andy Kaufman as co-#3.

Donald Regan was fired from the Reagan Administration. Hence his sour grapes. (I know you can't understand that since Clinton, as a loyal Dem, only staffs with the incompetent. I give you Janet Reno.) Everyone awake knew what Reagan wanted, he had only stated it for 20+ years and two national campaigns. We did know that Clinton ran on a tax cut in 1992 and then, shortly after he won his 43%, he was caught bold-faced lying, saying that he didn't have the actual figures when he made that promise (BW detailed the fully calculated lie). Slick had, in effect, blamed the Bush admin for his failure to submit the tax cut he ran and won on. Slick then delivered up his real goal and the goal of the Dem Congress, a tax increase to fund still more government. Re: Hoover, that is something your pathological liars made up. Remember, Hoover stopped many of the Kennedy's illegal acts and made RFK on the record responsible for ordering Martin King's surveillance. RFK was livid, as he had intended to blame Hoover. As for historians, none is more discredited than professional distorter, lame hagiographer, the so-called "court historian" Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. I guess that latter earned designation is a euphemism for "on the payroll". Heck, even the late Teddy White admitted how he was used in creating the myth of Camelot (against the reality of Came-alot) in the JFK apotheosis campaign. Quite an achievement of propaganda for the Left in covering over a failed and most dangerous presidency. Remember, Goldwater was running ahead of JFK for the 1964 elections at the time. Too bad for JFK and the old propagandists that his reputation is sinking with every year - the truth will out. Still, everyone will remember JFK's ringing words after his fecklessness caused the Commies to put up the Berlin Wall. "Ich bin ein Berliner" - "I am a jelly donut". That caused great laughs in Europe, though it is doubtful that was his intent. Of course that reaction was never reported here - just another Kennedy "triumph". Hey, Slick is like JFK, the more he's found deficient, the more the media props him up.
