After 1 week, his shady past and sexual harassment claims on a previous job surfaced and he was fired as host and producer, and his career has taken a huge hit over it. So it backfired big time.

Also for Spiro Agnew, he was there for the reveal and dedication of Stone Mountain stating "We must recall those principles of loyalty, dignity, and honor that shine through the men we commemorate today." And those men were Jefferson Davis, Stonewall Jackson, and Robert E. Lee

Great Moments in Dan Quayle history with some of his quotes: "Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child." "One word sums up probably the responsibility of any vice president, and that one word is 'to be prepared'." "We don't want to go back to tomorrow, we want to go forward." "I have made good judgements in the Past. I have made good judgements in the Future." "The future will be better tomorrow." "I am not part of the problem. I am a Republican." "I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix." "A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls." "We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a *part* of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a *part* of Europe." "It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it."

What you mentioned about Cheney profitting from war is unfortunately true about a massive number of members of congress. And this isn't a theory, it's publicly known fact since their financial records are required to be made public. I don't remember how many by now but I do recall that an absurdly large quantity of both senators and representatives buy significant parts of defense companies, then make sure that those companies get huge government contracts, where you'll have things like a sock costing hundreds of dollars (I made that particular example up, but that is how ridiculous it gets and I don't remember any actual examples)

And one more thing about Dan Quayle...it is still a running joke in the Civilization game series that he is the lowest rank you can receive upon ending the game (the other end of the spectrum, aka the highest ranking, is reserved for Augustus Caesar as of Civ 6.)

Excellent list. I was surprised by your pick of Cheney only because of how recent he is, but he is more than worthy and I commend your courage. I recall reading a few things about how he voted when he was a Congressman, things like voting against Head Start, against the Equal Rights Amendment, initially against a holiday for Martin Luther King, Jr., against making armor piercing "cop killer" bullets illegal, against sanctions against South Africa during apartheid, against making plastic guns that could slip through metal detectors illegal, against renewing funds for the Clean Air Act, and the list goes on. Granted, he actually was good with LGBT issues, but likely only because his daughter came out as a lesbian, so a perhaps that's even more slimy of him.

Great segue into the ad read. I am also glad that you unequivocally put Cheney as #1 while you seemed to caveat your placement of George W. Bush more in the worst presidents list. I saw someone comment further down that Cheney is different than Quayle in that he was smarter and more effective. But the word "worst" can mean in a moral sense, not just ineffectual, and, in fact, that is probably the more common meaning of the word. So I think it makes sense to put Cheney at the top of the list. It's interesting that you think Cheney did better as Secretary of Defense.

@@iammrbeat I have had history teachers like that. I have also had history teachers that actually did try to indoctrinate their students to a particular point of view. I have also seen some schools pressured to teach certain subjects a certain way by state officials, school boards, and/or angry parents. I love history, but over the years I have DEFINITELY had to un-learn some of the lies I "learned".

When I was in elementary school in Ohio back in the 1990’s, schools were first starting to do standardized testing of their students. Teachers had to set aside a couple of days in the school year for all the students in the school to sit down and bubble-in multiple choice answers in a cheap booklet printed on thin, easily-torn paper. The teachers and the school were going to be graded on how well we students performed on this boring, menial test. Therefore, as I sat in the classroom waiting for the Social Studies portion of the test to be passed out, the teacher told us all, “Okay, class, on question 14 when it asks ‘Where did the Founding Fathers get the idea for the Constitution?’, the correct answer is ‘B: The Iroquois Confederacy.’ Yes, I know that isn’t actually the correct answer, and you all know that, too, but that’s the answer the state wants.” Yes, really, she actually said that. I remember that specifically because I thought it was incredibly strange. I mean, we had just recently learned in history class that the Founding Fathers drew inspiration from many sources when writing the Constitution. Why was the state government wanting us to say that only one of those inspirations mattered? Looking back on this today, as a full-grown adult, it seems clear to me that someone in either Ohio’s education department or the company that made these standardized tests had a political agenda and was trying to get all the schools to teach to that agenda.

God i love your videos!!! Its inspired me to try and turn my history passion into a career

Great list. I agree on all.

can't forget the time ol Quayle got BURNED on live television. *_"Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy."_*

Damn you missed a great opportunity to include, Senator you’re no Jack Kennedy.

For me, as a non-american, who was born after he was in offive, Dan Quayle is actually most famous for being the lowest ranking you can achieve in the Civilization games.
