Quotes / William Howard Taft

"My history textbook jumped from The Civil War to The Great Depression and in between there was one page about William Howard Taft getting stuck in a bathtub. Now, I know that story is apocryphal and that it didn’t even start to spread until decades later, but it’s also super funny to me that someone went out of their way to make it up and spread it around about a dead guy. I mean, Taft was the only person in American history to ever serve as President and Chief Justice, and yet all anyone knows about him is a fake story that sounds like a plot line from Family Guy."
