Stewart and Colbert on Presidents

"Like it or not, more so than any other figure in our nation, the President embodies America. And one day you could be him, but probably not." - Jon Stewart, from America (The Audiobook)

"Warren G. Harding: Our Worst President, by Stephen Colbert. Historians debate feverishly over who is the best President in American history. However, there is little disagreement over who was the worst. His name was Warren G. Harding, and he sucked. The reasons why he sucked are many and to be truthful have been widely catalogued in the annals of presidential history, so with your indulgence, I'd like to focus instead on the intensity of his sucking. Warren G. Harding was a worthless piece of shit. F--- him! His presidency was a taint, not just in the sense of a stain on the office, but literally a taint, the anatomical area between the anus and the testicles. I hate Warren G. Harding. Stephen Colbert is the Arthur Schleshinger Professor of American Studies at Harvard University." - read by Stephen Colbert, in America (The Audiobook)
