#1 That would be this guy...

Harold LeClair Ickes (March 15, 1874 February 3, 1952) was a United States administrator and politician. He served as Secretary of the Interior for thirteen years, from 1933 to 1946, the longest tenure of anyone to hold the office. Ickes was responsible for implementing much of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's "New Deal" and is the father of Harold M. Ickes, who was deputy Chief of Staff under President Bill Clinton and was an adviser to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during her tenure as Senator.

#4 My vote is Imbeciles just smart enough to appear educated, sorta like a veneer, you know there's plywood behind, but the surface gives the appearance of solid Oak.

#7 As far as politicians go, I prefer rogues to imbeciles because at least sometimes rogues give it a rest.
