POTUS Elections Past. A genuinely savage person: We need more Peter Sheridans.
From Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72:
What happened, according to Chitty, was that "the Boohoo reached up from the track and got hold of Muskie's pants-leg waving an empty martini glass through the bars around the caboose platform with his other hand and screaming: 'Get your lying ass back inside and make me another drink, you worthless old fart!"
"It was really embarrassing," Chitty told me later on the phone. "The Boohoo kept reaching up and grabbing Muskie's legs, yelling for more gin...Muskie tried to ignore him, but the Boohoo kept after him and after a while it got so bad that even Rubin backed off."
"The Boohoo," of course, was the same vicious drunkard who had terrorized the Muskie train all the way from Palm Beach, and he was still wearing a press badge that said "Hunter S. Thompson - Rolling Stone."

Waterboarding is torture again?
CIA Director John Brennan is wrong. Whether or not waterboarding is "torture," it and other harsh interrogation techniques have their time and place during wartime. See "Director Brennan: CIA Won't Waterboard Again--Even if Ordered by Future President."
