Taft you say? He proved even fat men can look dignified. At least he didn't have fake, phony, fraud Photo Ops of himself sweating it up in a jogging suit like today's shameless pols tend to do.

Yes, he did all that and they had to install a special bathtub in the White House so that he could fit in it.

He was also the conservative Republican who got us the Sixteenth Amendment. ;-)

I didn't want to be critical and therefore offensive...just trying to think happy ;^)

P.S. I won't mention that I am currently active on another thread this evening - regarding GOP corruption.

Well, it's a long story, but Taft indeed launched the 16th amendment. The book discussed in that thread tells the story.
