Give right winger mental charlie horse: ask "Who was worst president?"
and why.

You really don't need to say anything else after that.

Whatever evidence they give for ranking someone worse, Bush will have committed the same sin in spades.

Southerners will likely point to Lincoln's invasion of the South and habeas corpus suspension. Others will point to the corruption of Harding or US Grant. Or the obstruction of justice and wiretapping of Nixon. Those that listen right wing radio will likely point to FDR and LBJ's expansion of the role of government and the necessary spending to go with it (though the things they dislike about those guys I admire).

Only the sex scandals of Kennedy and Clinton don't have parallels in the Bush White House, but that's because the press politely looked the other way about the obvious implications of a gay prostitute posing as a reporter and checking into the White House when there was no press conference scheduled and neglecting to check out. If that was covered the way Clinton's sex life was, Bubba would look like Mother Theresa compared to the Crawford Caligula.

Post that question anywhere the righties are talking about Hillary's accurate but tepid comment calling him ONE of the worst (as if James Buchanan or Warren Harding did more damage to our country and democracy).
