  The 13th President, Millard Fillmore.  Source of photo:  online version of the NYT article cited below.  

I doubt the veracity of George Pendle's humorous, but unkind, comment about Millard Fillmore's views:

“His firm support for tariffs, . . . , seems to have been based on a misapprehension that a tariff was a long-legged marsh bird.”

Pendle is quoted in: 

THOMAS VINCIGUERRA.  "Why He Gets the Laughs."  The New York Times, Section 4  (Sun., March 18, 2007):  5.

(Note:  ellipsis added.)

Pendle's forthcoming book, is:
