Quick—someone tell me that there was some ground rule in the UofL’s forum against including sitting presidents in this analysis. Surely Bush’s folly in taking the country into the Iraq war already qualifies as one of the top ten presidential blunders, and is far more significant than the Lewinsky scandal, the Iran-Contra scandal, or Jefferson’s Embargo Act.

The more important question is who is the WORST PRESIDENT in American history? George W. Bush, surely, is vying for the dishonor.
