16. On the "Icons"
Just to give credit where credit is due, the GOP should have TWO icons. I would put Teddy Roosevelt in the category of Icon along with Lincoln.

For us, I would list our Icons as (in chronological order): Thomas Jefferson, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, and John Kennedy.

Right now, most historians (myself included) list two presidents as "Failures": Grant and Harding.

I guess for Dumbya, we're going to have to find a new category below "failure". Might I sugges "Total, Irredemable Disaster"?
