Seinfeld · Season 1, Episode 15

Jerry and George in “Unfinished Business”

Who was the last president to have a beard?

Nixon.

No, I mean a real thick beard.

His was thick.

No, I mean like a full long beard like Smith Brothers Cough Drops.

Falkmore.

Who?

Artemis N. Falkmore.

You made that up, right?

Yeah. But it sounds like a president name, doesn't it?

Yeah. Why do presidents all have these bad names? Woodrow, Grover, Millard

The presidency attracts the badly named. Their ambition is based on personal insecurity. It's a classic male overcompensation.
