That honour is either given to George Bush Jnr and Dan Quayle.
Or like, anyone from the South who didn't adopt civil rights.

Dan Quayle in reality, is a very intelligent businessman. He is the CEO of Cerberus Capital Management, a company that purchases large corporations in trouble, turns them around into profit generators, and re-sells them. They are very successful and very large. BTW, they recently bought Chrysler Corp.
I guess old Dan has got the last laugh. I sure wish Dan Quayle or someone like him would run for President. But if you've got enough money to buy Chrysler, why would you want to endure that mess again?

So glad I'm able to push all the right buttons and rent space in your head! Any minute now, you'll be channeling Carl....

Were they ever the president?
Teddy does have the dubious distinction of being the only politician mentioned in this thread who killed a secretary.

The notion of statesman was to leave your business, serve your fellow citizen by holding office and operating the government for a time, then go back to private life. The whole development of career politician is what breeds corruption. Ultimately, this is the failure of communism. In the USSR, an elite class of career Politburo exists in a system where all are supposed to be equal.
I expect you to completely misrepresent and not understand what I just said. Your socialist mindset and corrupt reasoning will not allow it. That's not an insult, just an observation of how you operate.
That's why you love Obama, he hates America and so do you.

I don't know if you are referring to me but in general I happen to agree that running the government should be like running a business. The key differences is that running a business means running it purely for profit. And I don't think that this is the purpose of government.
However, I know that from working with the government, that many are inept and lack ambition. There are equally as many in the private sector that are inept. The key difference is that in the private sector, people have fear of losing their jobs due to poor performance. There should be either positive or negative incentives that will improve the quality of those that work in the public sector.
