All bitterness, anger and politics aside, George W. Bush is a bizarre man. Not only is he the worst president since Hoover, he's also just a strange, strange man.
But, you know, we have had a rather long string of Presidents who are, according to the base metric of everyday man, pretty bizarre.
Dubya - A drunk coke user who found God, gave his heart to Jesus, and then embraced torture and illegal war.
Clinton - A brilliant political savant and womanizer who threw away his presidency for a blow job. (Yes, yes, the Monica Lewinsky thing was complete and utter bullshit, but damn. What were you thinking, Big Dog?).
Bush, Sr. - LOL.
Reagan - Monkey crazy B movie star whose wife consulted astrologists. He out Matlocked Matlock on a daily basis: "Ah, gee willikers, awww, shoot, well, gee, awww, damn, ->witty rejoinder from Reader's Digest<-."
Carter - Probably the closest to being a normal every day guy, he is on record for reporting a UFO sighting. Has big ass teeth.
Ford - Lacked basic motor skills, too similar to Homer Simpson for my general comfort.
Nixon - Delusional Quaker with paranoic tendencies. Thought meeting Elvis was a good idea.
LBJ - Insane.
Kennedy - Womanizing scion of a bootlegger. Had big ass teeth.
Eisenhower - 5 million star general with some alleged booty on the side. Wife had a strange name: Mimi, Tiki, something ...
Truman - Ah! Now, I don't know a lot about Truman? Was he normal?
Is Truman the last normal person we have had for president?
If you agree with my general proposition here, why are all these folks so damn strange? Are normal people unable to run for the highest office in the land? Are all of us, deep down, really not that normal either, and because we aren't in the spotlight, no one knows that we're all a bunch of freaks?
I don't know, I am just struck by the level of wacky mole in the leaders we elect.
