Slarty Ranks Everything for President

So...around where would the list switch from "somewhat suited" to "somewhat unsuited"?  I'm curious how far down we have to go before where the "character" of the list changes the most dramatically and where I can say someone is "low ranking".

 

Also, putting in my requests for the Mesopotamian deities Inanna/Ishtar, Anu, Ereshkigal, and Tiamat (I figured I'd go with some of the ones people have actually *heard* of, or at least are easy to find stuff on)

Heh heh heh.  Little do you know.  Please feel free to be as obscure as you wish, on that subject -- though I may complain if you are inconsistent with your transliteration choices (as above) 😛

 

As for the list's character, I think I commented that I found Pilgor the Goat to be a pretty good stand-in for not having the office occupied at all.  I can't promise I've been 100% consistent, given all the factors involved, but that should mean I consider anyone above Pilgor to be better than nothing, and anyone below Pilgor to be worse than nothing.

 

 

Also: sorry for the delay.  Would you believe I started a response almost two weeks ago and... oh, holy crap, that browser window is still open.  Well, guess I should go finish that.

For past presidents, note that I'm evaluating what I'd think of them assuming the office today (as with everyone else), not what I think of their past performance when they were actually president.  (Also, sorry presidential dads: I just don't care enough to learn a lot about you.)

 

Emperor Wu of Han is fascinating but I kind of don't believe most of what's written about him enough to place him very specifically.  Likewise, Cao Cao's depictions vary so widely that I don't know how to treat him.  Zhuge Liang though: I played DOAE, and from what I can gather it didn't exaggerate, at least not beyond lore.  I know what to do with this guy.

 

Inanna, boy, here's another one where I am so very conflicted.  But I've ranked her.  Ranking An, on the other hand, would be like trying to rank a Deist conception of God.

For the crime of not ranking George Clinton, I'm not only adding Jeb Bush to the list, but also making you read a dribble I wrote for him:

 

Spoiler

Jeb Bush stands naked in his bathroom and despairs. The reason behind his failed foray in federal politics? It is clearly evident in the mirror before him. He has to face the ugly truth: he will never, ever be dummy thicc.

 

He implores his reflection one last time:

 

"Please clap."

Ah, hmm. I was referencing the running joke where Kuzco meets all the Disney Princess requirements set in Ralph Breaks the Internet (better than Vanellope does, which is one of the reasons why she's off the list), but yeah, I can see how there's more than one way to take it. Consider him rescinded, and my apologies.
