Why Time Rag just had a little lapse of memory when it comes to history and real facts...isn't that CONVIENT!

No bias here....just the usual from Time...

Truth to Power doncha' know. 

"America isn't the problem...America is the solution." ~ Rush Limbaugh

   One of the reasons that there have been few bad democrat VP's is because there have been so few of them.  They were so bad they didn't even get the chance to be a bad VP.

How exciting - not.

Does anyone here know when Time and Newseek took harder turns to the left?  I always remembered them as sort of centrist mags which have now veered into solid "soft Left" territory.  Was it about the time that the Vietnam generation took over the editorial boards????

The dumbasses at Time continue to misrepresent history despite the wealth of resources at their fingertips.  Is it only laziness or do stupidity and partisanship manipulations enter the calculus?

Time's first "worst" Vice-President was Aaron Burr, a Democratic-Republican.  (Before there were Democrat and Republican Parties, there was the Democratic-Republican Party, which opposed the Federalist Party)  No mention of his party affiliation made.  Yet Time's second "worst" VP, Elbridge Gerry, was also a Democratic-Republican.  Time incorrectly states Gerry was a Republican, most likely because Time's derogatory rhetoric fits better with their Anti-Republican partisanship.  Interstingly, Time mentions that "gerrymandering" is derived from Gerry's re-districting manipulations, something the Democrats continue to use to their benefit.

Next up as "worst" VP is John C. Calhoun, who Time failed to identify his party affiliation.  Calhoun was elected as a Democratic-Republican but left the party, actually resigning as VP, and became a full-fledged Democrat.  I'm guessing Time left that out of the story because Calhoun was a HUGE supporter of SLAVERY!

Fourth on the list is Richard M. Johnson, a Democratic VP whom Time fails to name the party affiliation again.  Maybe it's because he owned slaves, had one as his commonlaw wife, and when she died took up with another slave, who then ran off with another man, was captured and sold to another slave owner, and then Johnson took up with her sister.

The fifth listed is William Rufus King, who remained unaffiliated but was a Democrat.  Why Time had to trot out this unfortunate soul primarily due to the brevity of his term (died after 45 days in office due to tuberculosis) is a testament to their perverted snarky humor.  Strangely enough, Time failed to mention his ownership of slaves as well.  I am amazed though that Time did not celebrate King as potentially part of the first homosexual couple in American politics (along with our 15th president James Buchanan) whom Andrew Jackson called Miss Nancy (and Buchanan as Aunt Fancy).

The sixth on the list is John Breckinridge, another Pro-Slavery Democrat that Time fails to mention party affiliation.  Breckinridge joined the Confederacy, fought against the Union and was eventually made Confederate States Secretary of War.  All you skiers are participating in his legacy when you visit Breckenridge, Colorado.  Wonder if the Liberals there know the history of their town.  Gack!

(Anyone else seeing a connection between Democrat and Pro-Slavery?)

The seventh listed is Hannibal Hamlin, originally a Democrat but emphatically against slavery, he switched parties to become a Republican, the Anti-Slavery Party!  Time identifies Hamlin as Republican but fails to note why he was Republican.  "While serving as Vice President, Hamlin was not necessarily one of the chief advisers to President Abraham Lincoln, although he urged both the Emancipation Proclamation and the arming of African Americans".  (reference)  You'd think Time would slober all over themselves to keep Hamblin off this list.  Yet Time bashes Hamlin for not joining the fighting during the Civil War, though failing to mention he was in his 50's at that time.  I wonder how many of the Time staffers are military veterans?

The eighth worst is Thomas A. Hendricks, yet another Democrat who remained unaffiliated by Time.  Maybe it's because of his Segregationist, black people hating record?

Ninth on the list is Thomas R. Marshall, a thoroughly forgettable VP as Time tells the story.  Somehow they failed again to name the Party.  Marshall was, of course, a Democrat.  I'd like to forget a lot of Democrats too.

Rounding out the Top 10 is Calvin Coolidge.  The worst they could say about him was his nonchalance and understatement.  Definately makes one a candidate for "worst" VP!  Somehow Time did not identify Coolidge as Republican.  Someone's on latrine duty in the Time building for missing this lobbed softball.

Eleventh is Henry Wallace, a whackadoodle Pinko in the FDR heirarchy, presumably one of plenty placed and allowed to flourish by FDR.  Time shocks all by tangentially identifying Wallace as a Democrat!  ("In 1944, the Democrats bypassed Wallace to select Harry S. Truman as their vice-presidential nominee. ")  How this slipped past the former Pravda censors now working at Time is a mystery.

Twelfth is Richard M. Nixon, who shockingly is not identified as Republican.  Someone's being waterboarded for this oversight for sure.

Hitting number 13 is Spiro Agnew, also not id'ed as Republican.  I'm starting to wonder if the Time staff is too stoned to catch these obvious omissions.  Anyhoo, this guy deserves to be on the Worst VP list.  I think Ohio's last governor, Bob Taft (R), emulated Agnew a bit too much.  Sad.

Fourteenth is Dan Quayle, also not id'ed as to Republican affiliation.  Time is taking cheap shots here.  Then again, Time is less competent than the National Enquirer when it comes to real reporting.  You can almost hear the Time staff giggling as they wolf down another pot brownie whilst writing this Lib guano.

Of course no Liberal/Leftist list would be complete without slamming Richard B. Cheney, the 15th and final contestent on the Leftist Fantasy Island of hate and myth.  At this point the buzz of the brownies has worn thin and the Time staff is gnashing their teeth while framing their last subject.  PO'ed they can't go beddie-bye yet till finished, the staff rips Cheney with venom, misinformation, and the pure hatred these "tolerant" folks have honed over the past eight years.

Final comment comes from our first president, George Washington, who presciently describes Democrats of today as they were over 200 years ago:

"... you could as soon scrub the blackamore white, as to change the principles of a profest Democrat; and that he will leave nothing unattempted to overturn the Government of this Country."

Stunning!

Cheney is probably the best ever, with Nixon and Coolidge close behind. That take 3 off immediately, and questions the credibility of the author.

Ya can't argue with Agnew being on the list. Rockefeller was only a short-timer, but worthy.

Quayle (not dumb, great speaker, politically insightful) was probably the median VP (along with Humphrey), but certainly not in the top 15.

However, to leave off Mondale and Gore (talk about dumb!) just strains credulity, and highlights the bias.
