They are wrong about Harding. But, time runs out too soon for some.
Albert Fall and the Tea Pot Dome scandal did his reputation in.
I found it curious that when Albert Gore sold the same Tea Pot dome oil fields to Occidental Petroleum for development, that no one in the press made the least amount of noise about it.

I looked up the term "bloviator" the other day, and it apparently descended from "bloviation" which was a noun
coined to describe the then Senator's speeches (rather pompous and long winded).
