Traditionally the president that was in office with a "0" in the year

[GingerSnaps]

Died or was killed while in office. How about a jackass that steals his way in and is serving another term connected to the "0" ending year in office.

Can it possibly take place in a pResidents unelected second term in office if he started in a year ending in "0"?

[hlthe2b]

1. well, given the "real president" is clearly Cheney....

I wouldn't be surprised to see his electronic "heart" blow a fuse.

[skygazer]

2. Yeah, well traditionally

The damn Washington Redskins predicted the winner but they blew it this year. I say we boycott the Redskins.

[kayell]

17. Not to mention Wall Street and their lousy predictor

On the other hand, consider that they probably did still predict the votes cast.

20. New GD F&A thread: Fuck the Redskins!

Or has that been posted already?

[Mr_Spock]

3. I don't want to be morbid or evil by saying I'd like to see the trend

continue :D

4. Not valid for the bad guys.

Only for the good guys (Lincoln, FDR, Kennedy...)

5. Hard to do harm to Satan

Isn't it?

6. which i pray DOESN'T happent b/c then

we have "President Cheney." Even if that is, de facto, what's happening now, those two words together freak me the fuck out.

7. True

1840

WH Harrison catches the flu on inaguation day (windbag outdoor speech) and dies a month later

1860 Lincoln assasinated

1880 Garfield assadinated

McKinley first elected in 1900 assasinated

1920 Harding dies in office

FDR Relected in 1940 dies in 1945

1960 Kennedey

1980 Raygun shot but lived (curse broken?)

And only 1 President not elected in a zero year died in office Zach Taylor elected in 1848

9. Raygun and Shrub can't be killed -- they were already brain-dead

when first put into office.

It's as if the Curse was preparing to strike at them and said, "uh, what do I do? There's no 'there' there!"

8. Reagan broke the Tecumseh Curse

though it was a close call

http://americanhistory.about.com/cs/uspresidents/a/tecumcurse1.htm

Lincoln and Garfield were assassinated in their second terms.

FDR was elected in 1932 and 1936 before 1940 and then died after being relected in 1944.

Of course Shrub wasn't actually elected in 2000,

13. Garfield was Four Months Into His First Term When He Was Shot

Just a correction.

[Spinzonner]

14. Right, I intended to put McKinley

[kayell]

18. Yet another evil that Raygun did then.

[amazona]

10. Reagan broke the curse

if indeed it ever actually existed. The undead keep walking long after their batteries run down, you know.

[the Princess]

11. Reagan did not break the curse

Astrologically speaking - the planets were not aligned properly for him to die - but he was seriously hurt. Bush on the other hand is astrologically prepared to die in office.

So to speak.

[the Princess]

12. Didn't you hear?

You can't kill the Boogey Man.

16. Someone needs to shave

His head and check it for a 666.

[jmowreader]

19. So that's where she got it from!

My grandmother always said that if you ate cherries and milk together, you'd die. But never would tell us why.

Now I know. Thanks.

[elperromagico]

21. Grover Cleveland: Died while swimming, 30 minutes after eating.

Now you know where that one came from too. ;)
