So...what's your opinion of Grover Cleveland?

I'd like to reincarnate him and make him Kerry's Attorney General.

3. I must say
I don't know much about Grover beyond his non-sequential terms.

5. He was one tough, principled sumbitch
Edited on Tue Aug-03-04 12:16 AM by Grover Cleveland
when it comes to STRICTLY following the Constitution, he has few peers among presidents. The only thing I disapprove from his career is sending the guard in against the Pullman strikers. He maybe, was too much of a libertarian for his own good, but like I said, I couldn't think of anyone better for Attorney General.

4. Favorite Muppet

Do they have to be natural-knit muppets to be eligible to hold public office ?

6. Well he used the army to crush the Pullman strike


I probably would have voted for him in 1884 and 1888, and maybe again in 1892, but I definently would have turned against him by 1994 or so.

7. In todays visual culture

I wonder if there'd ever be a chance that someone with that 'generous' a body could ever be elected.
