1. George Bush. (October Surprise, arming and encouraging Saddam Hussein
then attacking him, looking the other way at Noriega's drug-running when
it was helpful to the Contra war, then going after him when he started to
squeal. 1988 campaign the most noxious in recent US history.)

2. Richard Nixon. (Watergate, of course, but the secret, illegal bombing
of Cambodia was even worse.)

3. Ronald Reagan. (Not personally sleazy, but a sleazy and corrupt
administration: October Surprise, Iran-Contra, and numerous ethical
problems in his administration.)

4. Lyndon Johnson. (Beat Goldwater by accusing him of wanting to escalate
the Vietnam War. Then he, uh ...)

5. Warren Harding.
