Reply #40: Remember what Lincoln said about that "long dead drunk" [View All]

[jmowreader]

A group of temperance people (at least I think this is how the story goes) went to Lincoln to ask that he be removed from command for his drinking. Lincoln told them to find out what brand of whiskey Grant enjoyed, so that a case of it might be sent to all the other commanders in the field.

But yeah, you're right...you could probably get Nixon's face on the $50 easier than you could get Reagan's. But the problem with all this is, there's not enough money out there to change things just for vanity's sake.
