(55,334 posts)#1. Dandy Chet Arthur. Pu-lease.
#2. Jefferson. Yeah, I know he had reach, but the man was a major klutz. Once broke his leg hopping over a fence while trying to impress a chick... and it was in Paris. Sorrry, but you don't bring a knife to gun fight... and you don't bring an absent minded professor to a knife fight.
#3. Jerry Ford. Trips over his own shoe laces and falls on his own knife. He's only #3 because it'll take him a while to realize he's dead.
#4. Jim Buchannan. Curls up in a ball to cry, so it takes a while for someone to reach a vulnerable killstroke spot.
#5. Woody Wilson. Another damned professor. Sheesh. Teddy makes a bee-line for Woody to finish frat boy off fast.
#6. Hoover. Surprisingly mean for a practicing Quaker, but not the fastest reflexes. (C.f., his response to the Depression)
