Worst Vice-Presidents?

Who are the worst American Vice-Presidents? This is a tough one. It is hard to tell because the Vice-President has so little actual power.

I found an amusing blog post on this question. At The Powdered Wig, Matt K. has a list. It includes:

- William Rufus King

- John C. Calhoun

- John C. Breckinridge

- Spiro Agnew

- Aaron Burr

- Dick Cheney

It is interesting to note the President George W. Bush has proclaimed Dick Cheney the best Vice-President ever. And Spiro Agnew and Aaron Burr came close to being President. This is a tough one to call.

Any thoughts on this? This could make for a good poll question in the future.
