The last bearded American president

Author : sriram khe      Blog :Every profession is a conspiracy against the laity      Date: 8/4/2012 4:21:00 PM

It was Benjamin Harrison--the 23rd President.  We have not had a bearded president since the end of the 19th century!

He was a Republican. 

Like the famous bearded President, Lincoln, who was the first ever President to sport a beard, and was also a Republican.

Anyway, other old beards as Presidents?

Ulysses Grant, Rutherford Hayes, who seems to have had quite an unkempt beard, and James Garfield ... and all were Republicans.

Not a single bearded Democratic president! 

None, nada, zilch, zippo ...

A few had mustaches.  Seriously, one would have expected the other way around--that bearded presidents would be Democrats.

But, even Uncle Sam sports a beard!

Unfortunately, it does not look like we will anymore have presidents with beards--Republican or Democract.  Why are they so afraid of beards?

Oh well, I suppose it is only Sarah "mama grizzly" Palin who has enough cojones to grow one ... muahahaha
