My Grandfather was very similar, he only respected Eisenhower, everyone one else was a "dumbass". Not just presidents, everyone.

I thought the article was fine for it's audience, 95% of whom, I'm guessing, could not have named a single Derby contender. Maybe after the article those readers can name Hansen and have learned a little genetics, to boot.
