we eat our presidents. The last president to serve two relatively undisturbed terms was Eisenhower. Kennedy was shot. Johnson refused to run. Nixon resigned. Ford couldn't win his own term. We threw out the feckless Carter after one term. Reagan endured, but barely, given Iran-contra, and most Americans subscribed to the notion that he was stupid. We expelled the elder Bush after one term after he had a 90 percent approval rating earlier on. We impeached Clinton. Bush provided a steady diet for the piranhas/Speech Writer, Red County.
