A couple weeks ago I posted a ranking of 20th Century presidents. Nixon came in at the bottom, and at the time I wrote that given current trends the current White Hoser would end up in the bottom third.
Today I read an article in Rolling Stone by a historian who thinks we might be seeing the worst of all time at work.
I don’t know if I’d go that far. I mean, I really don’t; I don’t have any reason one way or the other, I just… it seems early to hang “worst of all time” on somebody when he’s got over two years left. And it seems a little harsh to describe someone’s position in the light of history when the end of his term is still in the future. Still, this is a very interesting article, and apparently free! It’s worth a read.

I will read it. But there is a slight problem with your links.
Your Presidential Ranking.
The Rolling Stone article.
Ah, thanks for the tip. It's fixed now.
Whew. Thanks for pointing that out man. I had to send that link to a few people. And I've seen webforms do that crazy stuff to links before, especially in web based e-mail sites.
I don't know if I would say the worst, but he is digging his way there as fast as his little arms can go. I liked how he mentioned Truman's rebound. He had a lot of people hating him when he left office. My Godfather still dislikes him. I think Bush will just contimue to drop, especially if we get a decent one next time.
