Everybody always points to Lincoln. However, James Monroe was a pretty scary looking guy. While we are on the subject - Who was the ugliest First Lady? Eleanor Roosevelt?

Lord, there are some ugly guys there.
Might be easier to name those that are not bad looking. Let’s see Franklin Pierce is OK. …aaaannnndddd, uh, Kennedy, …I think that’s about it.
It’s probably fair to say none who’ve been elected since the advent of television campaigning, which brought aesthetic considerations to the masses (e.g., Nixon’s televised 5 o’clock shadow and its alleged effect at the polls). John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, or James Buchanan, IMHO (where I imagine this will soon be heading…)
Check out pics of 'em all here.
This poll determined Clinton was ugliest, but I’d wager that was more likely a vast right-wing conspiracy. :rolleyes:
Clinton is pretty high on my ugly-scale. I think it was that big nose of his (or at least part of it.)
I’ve always been kind of partial to Woodrow Wilson, myself. Always felt sorry for the poor guy.
My money’s on LBJ.
Those ears! :eek:
That nose!! :eek: :eek:
His overall ugly fizz!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: !
He didn’t need a plastic surgeon; the man needed an exorcist! 
Richard Nixon may not have been physically repulsive but his heart was as black and malignant as anyone’s I can think of. Winston Churchill as a middle aged man was no hunk. Harry Truman could never pass contemporary politics TV test. Franklin Roosevelt was crippled. What does all this have to do with anything? If you want pretty, go elect Dan Quail, for Pete’s sake.
Off to IMHO.

yeah, he gets my vote too. My god is he homely.
Actually, if you ever see pictures of FDR as a younger man, he was rather handsome, from what I remember.
Truman wasn’t ugly, he was more every-man.
Let’s see, ugly presidents…ack-James Buchanan! Taft-didn’t they have to build him a special bathtub-and he broke his bed, or something?
Grant looks like a guy who stands on the corner and calls out-Hello, little girl-would you like some CAAAAANDY!!! AH!
Washington should have left his teeth in for his famous portrait, his jaw is really sagging!
James Polk, Millard Fillmore,
William Henry Harrison
Martin Van Buren
First Lady-Nancy Reagan-she was so fucking SKINNY. Leave Eleanor alone-she ROCKED.
Are you knockin’ my man, Harry Truman? I think he was cute as the dickens.
My vote goes to Clinton, too. Is it just me, or does the end of his nose look like the head of a penis? Not that penises are ugly or anything, but I sure wouldn’t want to have one in the middle of my face.
Penis nose, eye bags, chipmunk cheeks, bad hair–he has the same haircut as John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever fer gosh’s sakes! Clinton is one ugly mofo.
The ugly presidents debate begins and ends with Andrew Johnson. He’s like the Jon Lovitz of presidents.
