JFK would never have made it to the presidency. Coolidge would have put everyone to sleep. Lincoln was ugly. (He’s my hero, but even he knew that.) Madison was short. Many of them had unpleasant speaking voices.

Maybe we should have a rule that the presidential race is conducted entirely in print. Or…I love this idea…they can hire actors to portay them on television while they get the real work done behind the scenes.

(Most of America would be perfectly happy with that suggestion.)
