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.
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
