I knew about John Quincy and his naked swimming. That's how we got the best presidential interview ever when an enterprising reporter hid JQ's clothes on the riverbank and held him hostage until he answered questions.

Swimming naked.
of course for Clinton that is just Tuesday.

I knew most of these, but this one was new to me:

Herbert Clark Hoover ordered his White House servants to hide from him whenever he passed by. If they didn't, they ran the risk of being fired.

This pretty much solidified my opinion that ol' Herb was a dickstain of the highest order.

Does it really take a Canadian to suggest: being a naked bartender at a swim-up bar in the Potomac?

/Yes, I'm looking at you, Nixon.

A good bartender will get you to swim naked in the Potomac.

Seconded. This completely confirms his record as a first degree prick.

The next president of these United States, Hoobert Heever.

Calvin Coolidge liked having his head massaged with Vaseline during breakfast in bed. He also rode his own mechanical bull and played "ding-dong ditch'em" - he would ring the White House doorbell and then run and hide.

Calvin Coolidge, on the other hand, sounded like a pretty cool dude.
