Slamming Monroe and getting away with it vs a throat massage from Lewinski and getting impeached for it. I know the scrutiny of the two presidents at the hands of the media was completely different in their respective terms but I gotta say I don’t see the logic in ole Bill being frat if JFK is not. Both frat, both legendary, and no other Democrat has met these criteria imho.
Politically, Bill was more tolerable as president than JFK that’s why he’s frat. I don’t know, maybe it’s because I always think of Ted Kennedy when talking about JFK. I just don’t see him as frat.
Yeah, Ted Kennedy. So NF. Bill’s tenure was possibly the best of the 20th century so suppose I should have factored that into my little analysis. Politically- Bill +1 Trim- JFK +1… tough choice for me come to think of it.
Wilson was a booze hound, coke head, known for hookers, DUIs, and getting his way in congress, plus receiving the highest honor a civilian can from the army.
When comparing democrats, it’s hard to beat Andrew Jackson.. He was “fond of well-cut clothes, racehorses, dueling, newspapers, gambling, whiskey, coffee, a pipe, pretty women, children, and good company”, not to mention he threw the first rager in the White House.
3 Dems get a pass. Bill Clinton, JFK, and this guy. Also Andrew Jackson, who spent the overwhelming majority of his Presidency and life blacked out, and held massive parties that nearly destroyed the White House, but Democrat also meant something different in the 1830’s, so not sure that counts.
Jackson was a “Southern Democrat”, very different democrat than what we see today. Keep in mind that Lincoln helped found the Republican Party but was a liberal president
He was a Democrat though. NF. The only frat Democrat is ole’ Bill.
11 years ago at 2:08 pmUm, maybe JFK?
11 years ago at 2:19 pmEh, he was cool guy, but not cool enough to make me forget about his politics like Bill.
11 years ago at 2:25 pmCan’t blame you. The 90’s seemed like a hell of a time. I wish I didn’t waste it in elementary school.
11 years ago at 2:27 pmDon’t we all?
11 years ago at 2:32 pmDespite suffering from the mental disorder that is liberalism, JFK and Willy alike are unquestionably both legends.
11 years ago at 3:09 pmLegendary, yes. Frat, no. Only Bill falls into the frat category. The standards are higher for Democrats.

11 years ago at 6:02 pmTake it the forum you guys. Nevermind.
11 years ago at 1:57 pmJFK was barely a liberal at the time. He would not be considered a democrat these days.
11 years ago at 1:11 pmInteresting, just looked into this and you’re spot on.
11 years ago at 2:32 pmThe people have spoken. JFK was indeed, a frat president. Good night, America.
