Daladier was already mentioned and General Gamelin was not a political leader. But as leaders go, few turned out to be less effective than he. He had years to plan for a military showdown with Germany and yet, with a numerically superior or at least equivalent force (when combined with the BEF and the satellite armies), he essentially lost the whole war in 5 days. Some honorable mention to whomever thought up the ingenious maginot line. Half a wall; and the open half being the half that the Germans marched through in 1914 anyway.

Originally posted by zeeblebotLiberals go after whoever is in their way. It just so happens that "W" and Palin make easy targets. That is why they keep attacking them. If you recall, they tried attacking Reagan as well didn't they?
the liberals were going to go after whoever beat gore and kerry.
look how they're going after Palin! would it be different if she was a moderate?

Lincoln's successor, Johnson, I think holds the title of most worthless president.
"I will not run, nor shall I accept the nomination for reelection".
Vietnam brought him to his knees along with the failed "Great Society" programs that continue to bankrupt us today.
As for the other president Johnson, wansn't he impeached? I think he and President Clinton are the only presidents to ever be impeached.

One can only speculate what would have happened, had the Roman Catholic Church never been founded. But not much good has come from that organization.
Ethelred the Unready was a bit pathetic, and nasty with it.
Louis XVI was a pathetic king.
