wiki: "In the late 1980s, college professor and author Clara Rising hypothesized that Taylor was murdered by poison and was able to convince Taylor's closest living relative and the Coroner of Jefferson County, Kentucky, to order an exhumation"
wsj cont...: "Digging up notable Americans to solve mysteries isn't without precedent. President Zachary Taylor was exhumed in 1991, nearly 150 years after his death, to determine whether he had been poisoned..."
"The family had a breakthrough in 2008, when then-Assistant Interior Secretary Lyle Laverty wrote that given "the unique circumstances of the death of Meriwether Lewis," and the "overwhelming support'' of descendants, an exhumation was "appropriate and in the public interest.But in April, before preparations for the exhumation were complete, the agency reversed its decision, arguing that department policy couldn't be ignored. Following up last month, Assistant Interior Secretary Thomas Strickland instructed the family, "Please consider this a final decision on this matter."
Anyone else recognize Obama appointee Strickland? He was a two-time big-time loser to Sen. Allard in Colorado.
Or at least until he and the rest of the commie bastards running the show in DC are sent packing in 2012.
President Taylor's grave is not managed by the Department of the Interior is it?
Yep, it was pretty funny. He was a protege of the high powered Dem lobbyists/lawyers Brownstein and Farber. They thought he couldn't lose against Wayne Allard, the plain folks vet from Loveland. It was really fun when he beat the guy twice.
