America's Worst Vice Presidents

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

An interesting piece I just came across, despite it's being 4 years old. While I don't necessarily agree with placing some on the list (like Nixon who transformed the Vice Presidency into a position of actual political relevance) it's a fine read.


My favorites:

Richard M. Johnson:

Haha.

Hannibal Hamlin:

Breckenridge. Secessionist bastard.

EDIT: I should probably include Aaron Burr, the bastard who killed Alexander Hamilton. Who else do I hate? Maybe William Rufus King. But really, Burr is ridiculous.

William R. King? But what on earth did he do in first place?

Cheney, Gore, Bush, Nixon, Wallace

I guess it's just that he was super pro-slavery, not that that's an outstanding characteristic of many politicians from that time I guess.

Cheney, Agnew

Cut him some slack, he died so early in his term that he didn't have much time to do any damage.

My answers would be John Calhoun (also super pro-slavery), John Breckinridge (for the reason Cathcon highlighted), Andrew and Lyndon Johnson both (although they were both even worse presidents and people), and Henry Wallace (Communist sympathizer).  Maybe Hamlin, too.

Lyndon Johnson, the man who ended Jim Crow, is in your list of bad vice presidents?

I'd say that John Nance Garner, Richard Nixon, Spiro Agnew and Dick Cheney were the worst ones, at least of the 20th Century.

But he was a Southerner and a Democrat, which makes him a racist and a segregationist /Oldiesfreak

Cheney, hands down. Agnew was harmless, as long as he was kept out of office.

This is my favorite thing on the internet. This is Agnew-unchained.

[Del Tachi]

Aaron Burr was pretty bad...

Burr actually actively sought to destroy the United States, twice I think (aside from his killing of American hero Alexander Hamilton, which itself is evil).

Mmmm.  Quail.  Tasty.  The next best thing to manna from heaven so long as you aren't a glutton about it.

Nixon? I'm not sure whether you're trolling or have no idea about history. He certainly was not a bad Vice President. He transformed an obscure post into position of relevance.

Where the bleep is Charles Dawes?

I mean really, what an asshole!

You say that as if it were a good thing.

Cheney, Agnew, Dawes, Burr, and Wallace.
