Al Neuharth: Bush Is Worst President of All-Time
By E&P Staff
NEW YORK
Al Neuharth, the former Gannett chief, USA Today founder and currently
weekly columnist for that newspaper, has had a change of heart.
A year ago, in honor of President's Day, he stated that while he was
often critical of George W. Bush, he did not, and probably would not
ever, crack his list of the five worst presidents we've ever had.
A year later he admits he was wrong.
In his USA Today column today he announces that Bush has not only
cracked the bottom five, he's now at the very bottom.
Last year, Neuharth, a World War II hero who has met every president
since Eisenhower, listed his five worst as Andrew Jackson, James
Buchanan, Ulysses Grant, Herbert Hoover and Richard Nixon.
"It's very unlikely Bush can crack that list," Neuharth wrote.
Now he admits:
"I was wrong. This is my mea culpa. Not only has Bush cracked that
list, but he is planted firmly at the top."
By top, of course, he means bottom.

I wonder who is now 6th from the bottom.

Funny just TWO YEARS AGO, Discovery Channel ran a contest for the 100
greatest Americans. People voted online or over the phone and then the
results were counted down from 100 to #1
George W. Bush, ol'Dumbya himself, place Sixth and was called "Greatest
LIVING American."
Gawd, how much can change in two years. I wonder if this is why the
Discovery Channel never had another similar contest -nor- re-ran the
countdown episodes again. They normally air every other show they made at
least a dozen times a year.
BTW Ronald Reagan was voted greatest American ever over Abe Lincoln, ML King
Jr, George Washington, and Ben Franklin. (#2-#5)

Living proof as to why a nominee needs to be dead for twenty years to get
elected to the Hall of Fame for Great Americans.
