He was from Buffalo, his term was one wiiiild ride of nonstop action and intrigue, AND his final words were: "the nourishment is palatable" (the nourishment, in this case, being gruel). Top that, Kennedy.

Bad just because of his association with his namesake-by-way-of- pun "Mallard Fillmore", the WORST fucking comic strip ever. Blatant (and grating, and stupid, and smug, and baiting) conservative screed every week. Makes me want to kill someone; actually, makes me want to kill the guy that writes it.

Right-wingnuts are so cute when they (ineptly) try to be hip and funny.* "Mallard Fillmore" tries so hard to be a conservative "Doonesbury," "This Modern World," or "Boondocks," yet fails so miserably. There must be some sort of conservative sugar-daddy bankrolling a make-work scheme for right- wing cartoonists, 'cause Lord knows that "Mallard Fillmore" isn't in the papers for its quality or humor.

(* Notable exception being P.J. O'Rourke. Though he's considerably more funny when he's in one of his libertarian [as opposed to Rush Limbaugh conservative] moods or he's not doing political comedy, which kinda proves my point above.)

Man, I came to thread to bash Mallard too. A real lightening rod, that duck. How many cartoon ducks we got? Daffy=classic Donald=never thought funny Mallard=odious.

Millard? *shrug*

I hate that duck!

Millard Fillmore was the presidential candidate for the "Know Nothing" party. Top that, Jello Biafra.
