I reserve the Holy pedestal for my Lord. But the earthly individuals I admire most in American history are Washington, Adams and Lincoln. Each had earthly flaws, but each was absolutely magnificent in a supreme time of need.
Now if you want to talk about slimy, grubby political hacks, let's talk about Jeff Davis. He's down in the dregs with that other good 'ol by from Arkansas we just got rid of. I can see either of them running around dressed in women's cloths trying to get away from the law. Men of conviction ---- LOL.
