George Washington? Benjamin Franklin? Most of Hollywood?

....The former two existed during one of the two periods in Frog
history where the Frogs were actually worth a ****. The second being
when Napoleon was at his peak. The results of both Napoleon's failure
and the post-Louis XVI purges, along with the Nazi Occupation a
century-plus later, have purged the Frog end of the gene pool from
anything resembling honor, strength, integrity, pride and common
sense.

The latter don't count.
