Would be interesting to compare Coolidge's cruel & incompetent response to 1927 Mississippi flood to Bush's handling of Katrina.

@notjessewalker Odd thing is I'm not sure proto-libertarians of the era (Mecken, Nock) much liked Harding or Coolidge.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@HeerJeet Did you see@GeneHealy's review of the Shlaes book? He noted how Mencken disliked Coolidge in office but afterwards grew fonder.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@notjessewalker@GeneHealy I haven't read that review. I'm sure the experience of the New Deal made Mencken much fonder of 1920s GOP.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@notjessewalker @GeneHealy Thanks! I do think libertarian critique of presidential "greatness" as war-making & state expansion is useful.
