Prudence and decorum define the office of the presidency. But try telling that to George Washington.
The father of our country, coated head to toe in sugar, once climbed onto a table during revels at the St. Charles Hotel. Thomas Jefferson, not to be outdone, went skydiving over Lake Pontchartrain. And Ulysses S. Grant swigged from a jumbo bottle of beer while weaving his way down Canal Street.
Impeachable behavior? Scandalous hijinks? Hardly. Simply business as usual in New Orleans.
