4 stars. He'd probably get 5 if he didn't eat the damn cherries.

Pretty awesome, although he killed himself in the most incredibly stupid manner.

I  gave him a 1 because I'm a party pooper.

Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

Amazingly good relative to what one would expect from a cursory description of him, but obviously not an all-time great or anything, and still, alas, a slaveowner. Four stars, but really more like three and a half.

Four stars for standing up to the slave power (despite owning slaves himself).

As others have noted, surprisingly good.  Three stars (which is very generous to one who is both a Whig AND a slaveowner)
