Idiot Presidents
July 03, 2022
My UPI chat group turned up this prescient bit of writing from two decades ago:
“A rapid glance at the history of the USA also suggests skepticism about the impact of individual leaders. That great country has, by general consent, probably elected to its Presidency – the post of chief executive and (as we have been reminded recently) commander-in-chief – a greater number of ignorant dumbos than any other republic.”
