Ugliest Damn President

In the spirit of intelligent, thought provoking reflection of our Presidents, past and present-let us take pause in our hurried lives to consider these great men. Let's reflect on their contributions to humanity, their impact on society... Their scandals, their executive prowess,their many 'missions accomplished'. Not only are we non-partisan here, but we are capable of being shallow as hell. So-
Who was/is the ugliest damn President? Unlike a real election, your vote matters. It matters to superficial people everywhere that look to America as a beacon of Democracy, a ray of light in the darkness of their oppressive regimes... a glimmer of nonsense in their too-busy-worrying-about-hunger lives. Your vote is about freedom. Do it for Hamas.

Abraham Lincoln, hands down, no question.

I have to say John Adams. He was just a little too pudgey around the gills for my taste.

And, btw, I actually think Abraham Lincoln had kind bizarrely interesting look about him.

Nixon, fuggedaboudit.

But I still go with Adams.

I put Nixon in as Dubya lite.

The smallest and shortest book ever written, "Things George W. Bush Did Right". Who can argue with Helen Thomas saying Dubya is "the worst President ever".

Cheney.



Nah. I'm just kidding.

Jeb. Oh wait, that didn't happen yet.

Nixon.

Millard Filmore. I can't remember what he looked like, but when I hear his name all I can think of are mallards...and a duck's ass isn't attractive.

Well, it makes perfect sense to ME.

Millard Fillmore?

Come on! It's got be Martin Van Buren with those bizzare mutton chops. Though I have to say that John Quincy Adams looks like he was beaten with an ugly stick.

I can't bring myself to dis Lincoln, though. No doubt he was ugly, but I guess I must just be looking through to the soul.

William Henry Harrison is one of the ugliest things I've ever laid eyes on. Check out his can o' worms visage here.

I looked through the photographs in the New Year's Honours List, I was struck (as usual) by the quite exceptional ugliness and vulgarity of the faces displayed there. It seems to be almost the rule that the kind of person who earns the right to call himself Lord Percy de Falcontowers should look at best like an overfed publican and at worst like a tax-collector with a duodenal ulcer. But our country is not alone in this. Anyone who is a good hand with scissors and paste could compile an excellent book entitled Our Rulers, and consisting simply of published photographs of the great ones of the earth. The idea first occurred to me when I saw in Picture Post some 'stills' of Beaverbrook delivering a speech and looking more like a monkey on a stick than you would think possible for anyone who was not doing it on purpose"

Lincoln, Nixon, van Buren? The ugliest President ever is a living breathing man. His name is Dick Cheney! Scowling, blood thirsty, demon hearted Cheney. We're talking ugly clear to the bone here folks. Ugly that makes babies cry.

Lew Scannon said...

I was going to say Lyndon Johnson, or Nixon, but LOC convinced me. It's Draft Deferment Dick "Permascowl" Cheney.

Anonymous said...

Permascowl! I love it!

AJ said...

Not to start with any conspiracy theory, but my vote would go to Wilson.
After all, he smartly decided to "take holiday" when the clowns met to decide our nation's fate for decades to come..

Lily said...

You should apply to Human Resources for the position of Conspiracist. (Lew's old position, the board turned on Kvatch when he started parading around with the umbrella, we were forced to take the CEO position from his cold amphibious fingers... Nothing says leadership liability like an umbrella) You don't get an intern though...you'll make your own coffee,too.

So, will Lew agree to parade around blogarama with the profile pic of the winning Ugliest Damn President????
Come on Lew, suck it up for the team!!!!

pissed off patricia said...

Have we had any other presidents who could look as much like a howler monkey as bush can? If we have, I'll vote for him.

Tina said...

My vote is for William Taft... I just can't get past that handlebar mustache. Slap him in a striped shirt and a hat and he's a portly barber shop quartet singer all the way... and barber shop quartets blow.

Graeme said...

I agree Tina, I was going to say Taft as well. Why does every fat white guy with a mustache look like wilford brimley?

People! People! The original Dick Cheney - the armed force over compromise President - the kill the indians and mexicans cause they 'ain't' humans President was as ugly or uglier than "Shoot your Friend in the Face" Dead-Eye Dick! Zachary Taylor Look at that mug. Look at that nose. Who said ugly is only skin deep?

And, this time in the right thread.

Anonymous said...

I dunno. For some reason I'm turned off by Washington's wooden teeth and possible splinters flying about. Nixon with the ski slope nose. So many ugly Presidents, so hard to decide.

Eidin said...

My vote: Dick Cheney. That creepy way his mouth moves.

Got the Most Annoying Senator at my place. It's official.

Wilford Brimley makes me think of the Monopoly man...not that that has anything to do with it.

Lew Scannon said...

I'll do it under the condition I can change my vote to local hometown boy makes good Gerald R. Ford, the first President to never win an election. Because if Double Draft Deferment Dick Cheney wins, I don't want to have to use the picture of him sitting on the bench exposing the unit and the twins, which I'm sure Lily would make me do.

Rex Kramer, Danger Seeker said...

I can't beleive I'm the only one who finds FDR truly terrifying. Do you people mean to tell me that a gimp in metal leg braces doesn't freak you out?

Abe comes in as a close second. Sometimes that mole follows me around in my nightmares.

Lily said...

I think that is very rude, Rex. I use metal braces, and would not be able to get around without them. I'm not ashamed, I have learned to get around and I can even climb stairs. My family has renovated our entire home, and it has not been easy. I don't think you should make fun of people. Sometimes your jokes just go too far. You don't know how many of us are handicapped.

Here. is this what you wanted?

I vote McKinley, not so much for how he looked, but because Karl Rove thinks he was the model president. He's been trying to model GWB's presidency after McKinley, who made a pre-emptive strike against the Phillipines to expand our empire & make us occupiers. McK was assassinated by an "anarchist" student of Emma Goldman. As he was executed, the "anarchist" proclaimed "I killed the President because he was the enemy of the good people".

My vote for best looking president is Jefferson, but then I'm partial to smart redheads. D.K.

You potato, I say potato(e). You say handicap, I say handi-able.

But then again I work with retards, and although told thats a little politically incorrect.
No one's gonna tell me who I can and can't work with.

Man, I'm too late.

My choice would have been William Henry Harrison. And I can see where CV Rick is coming from Zachary Taylor got hit with the ugly stick too. And Andrew Jackson look like he got an overdose of Chris Walken syndrom pills.
