Presidents Day

America has long reveled in tales of sexual misconduct of its Presidents. John Adams was accused of having his vice-presidential running mate, Charles Pickney, to act as a pimp for him. Adams lost to Jefferson, but not because of the sexual allegations.

Thomas Jefferson, according to a number of journalist at the time, had his own lack of moral restraint around beautiful women and is said to have carried on affairs with two married women. He was also accused of fathering children with one of his own slaves.

Andrew Jackson was called a home-wrecker. Ulysses S. Grant is said to have fathered a child with a Native American girl. Grover Cleveland admitted to fathering an illegitimate child with a Buffalo, New York prostitute.

Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy all carried on illicit relationships. And, of course, there was Bill Clinton.

All of this philandering has surely had an impact on this country. Just look at all the advertising.

In honor of Presidents day, mattresses are 50% off at thousands of locations.
