  •  I can't esteem his as a person. (none / 0)

    Because by the normal standards of personhood, he was a failure.

    His family life was a shambles, he committed adultery in his 1st marriage, his kids were screwed up, and after he left office, he made "speaking trips" that were thinly veiled shake downs for access to GHWB (remember the Japan talks?).

    By the standards of "traditional values", he was one of those decadent Hollywood types.

    Add to that his embrace of racism (talking states rights in Philadelphia, MS), and I have to say that he was a pretty bad, albeit likable, person

    It could be worse. I could still be living in Texas.
