Thank you for sharing this! I've always been fascinated by Harding, perhaps because he has been discarded by history. We need to learn more about his important presidency. The lack of curiosity among historians is alarming. What else don't we know? Thank you for highlighting his words. Great article!

Nominated and elected for one reason only. He looked presidential. Otherwise a real airhead who spoke bloviating, empty nonsense.

Mencken wrote a classic on this inaugural address, “Gamalielese,” check it out.
