It came as a surprise to me.

By far my favorite President. He was fodder for late night comedy, kind of clumsy and folksy, but really pretty smart - lovable I guess. Plus that dealie of getting to be president without an election - how cool was that? The best was that he knoew when to leave gracefully. Again, smart guy.

Plus, he was on the Simpsons.

Like Richard Nixon, who lived about 1/2 mile from the school where 1676 meets the last years of his life, he was a good guy.
