Why Not the Worst?
It’s always a race to the bottom with his party, but our president is proving himself to be historically awful.

Washington — For several years now I have been writing my memoirs in my spare time and have been having a lot of fun with them. There are writers who insist that writing is torture. Bill Buckley was that sort of a masochist, though I must say I never found even a sentence written by him painful to read. He was always stimulating and often amusing. Yet now, as I enter upon the last lap of my memoirs, I am encountering difficulties.
I began with a lot of amusing tales about Warren Gamaliel Harding, the 1920s president who was easily our Worst President until we endured Jimmy Carter. I even had personal accounts from a survivor, reporting to me about the time he “slayed” a fifth of Scotch with Warren. That would be the late Arthur Krock, bureau chief of the fabulous New York Times, who had an amusing tale to tell about the time he sat down for a drink at Washington, D.C.’s Willard Hotel with the great man. Needless to say, Warren has now been superseded by Jimmy Carter, and then by President Barack Obama and recently by Joe Biden, the “gaffable” Joe Biden.
It is almost as though the modern Democrats are in competition with one another to see who can be the Worst. Look at how the field is shaping up for 2024. Already we have Beto O’Rourke out there. When will they begin competing with one another to use the famous four-letter word? The foul-mouthed Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand clearly outdid Beto last time, and she did it with a greater variety of billingsgate and more passion. Has she declared her candidacy yet?
As I have said, the Democrats have presented me with a problem. There can only be one Worst President. I have already accorded the award to Jimmy Carter, but now there is Barack Obama to contend with and President Joe Biden, and soon, if he stays on track, there will be Beto, and forget not the fair Kirsten. How many more can there be?
