On February 19, Culture Queue aired a little pre-President’s Day present (from the episode “From Cajun Country to Caretaker Presidents”) in our Top 7.

   In it, reporter Tess Weinberg and host Mark Sheely count down the least memorable presidents past. Here’s what they decided.

   7. William McKinley - Perhaps best known as the namesake for the high school on Glee (not a good start), McKinley was our forgettable twenty-fifth president. He also made a brief cameo on the $500 bill.

   6. Gerald Ford - The man nobody chose as president. Ford may just as well known for his presidency as he is a Michigan Wolverine and male model

   5. William Henry Harrison - “I died in thirty days (sic)!”

   4. John Tyler - The most virile of our Commander in Chiefs. Tyler fathered fifteen children while in office and has two living grandchildren.

   3. Warren G. Harding - Harding set the bar for Kennedys and Clintons to come. It was believed he may have had as many four extra-marital affairs. Had he spent more time in the Oval Office and less in the closet with his mistress, he might not have made our illustrious list.

   2. Zachary Taylor - Died of milk and cherries. The fact that you haven’t heard this before proves how forgettable he was.

   1. James Garfield - Not the cat. Perhaps the largest consequence of his presidency was the invention of the metal detector, which was used in attempt to find the bullet lodged within him.

   Now you know some of the U.S. residents who then became presidents!
