[Rise of South Park Republicans]

I see your point but....

Warren G. Harding was the Bill Clinton of his day tenfold with Florence Kling Harding as Hillary. He was a corrupt political boss in Marion. Everything from scandal in the Veterans' Bureau, the Interior Dept and Justice (Ring a bell?) His attorney general was brought before the bar and on and on.

I don't know many of the most conservative of Republicans who would deny the overall corruption of Harding

As with Nixon, Harding's legacy of corruption empowered democrats. New Dealers easily blamed all problems upon Harding.

And, as with Nixon, Harding's good must be upheld. In Harding's case, he unwound the worst of Wilson's horrid wartime economic regime.
