One of the worst presidents we have ever had.

Worse than like Buchanan.

I was more sympathetic to their list before I read everything that happened after 10.

These presidential historians are jokes, we're in for it.

To celebrate America's 250th anniversary, America's actually older than 250.

America goes all the way back over 400 years to the Mayflower,

which is an excellent cigar brand, by the way.

But to celebrate the official 250th anniversary, the producers have asked me to list my top 10 presidents.

And this is not some idle exercise.

This is based on the C-SPAN list, which C-SPAN does every single year,

consulting all the genius presidential historians to come up with the definitive list of the

top ten presidents. What are the qualities that they consider? I want to make sure I'm using

the same criteria as C-SPAN. Public persuasion, crisis leadership, economic management, moral authority, international relations,

administrative skills, relations with Congress, vision slash setting an agenda, pursued equal justice

for all, and performance within the context of the times. I will begin with the honorable

mention, a guy who doesn't make the list, but it's the honorable mention.

And that, of course, you could probably guess it.

If you're a frequent viewer or listener to the show, Mr. Muttonschops himself, Chester Allen Arthur.

One of the great men.

He doesn't make the list.

There were some problems.

He became president accidentally. He was a crooked New York politician. He ran the customs house. He just doled out patronage to his buddies. And when his president was killed, Garfield, he actually sobbed because he didn't want to be president. He just wanted to be VP and dole out more patronage. He sobbed, but he took the job.
