After we had the great opportunity to sit down with Ron Paul in Lake Jackson, TX office we hit the road, driving north on 288 toward Houston, where we had a meetup later that evening. Off the west side of the highway we saw a collection of busts of former presidents. Obviously someone thought these guys were such good people that they deserved to be showcased.
We didn’t.

Hilarious.
Also I bet this is the primary video detractors will use against them. It’s also important to note that Washington was a giant prick during the revolution as well. In fact many of our founding fathers were giant douches, but for me Washington takes the cake.
