Old news perhaps but it is from a lefty British journalist so makes a bit of a change.

My dad sat me down before that election and filled me in on the Kennedy Family.

“And pretty soon, well have no Kennedys in office for the first time in 46 years.”
That’s right. Schwarzenegger is leaving office in January.

Except that Camelot was a lie.

The entire Kennedy myth has been pushed by the liberal press for so long that even they start to believe their own lies. I am old enough to remember JFK and his election, as well as his assassination. The truth is that he bought his election with the help of Chicago's political machine and voter fraud. The Kennedy's have been corrupt for generations, and I am glad to be old enough to see the end of the Kennedy dynasty.

The “missile gap” was a huge lie. Because of it Kruschev could gamble on putting almost the entire Sov arsenal in Cubar, but Kennedy couldn't capitalize on that since the country thought the Sovs had lots more back home.
To: PotatoHeadMick
We’ll probably never know half of the dirt with what was involved with Hussein becoming president. Has anyone EVER seen a politician be so able to cover up their past from scrutiny like his people did? It’s remarkable. We could only imagine what filth was involved during his elections. He beat the Clintons for God’s sake!
Kennedy’s election will look as pure as fallen snow compared that of 0bama.

What hatchet job?
Even PBS covered the seamy side of the Kennedys in an episode of “The American Experience.”
You can read the transcript and view the entire video online:
http://video.pbs.org/video/1125268583/
From the transcript: “In the end, it all came down to Lyndon Johnsons Texas and Mayor Dalys Chicago, where crime boss Sam Giancana controlled key wards. Together, they helped put Kennedy over the top. It was the narrowest win of the century, a margin of one-tenth of one percent.”

And pretty soon, well have no Kennedys in office for the first time in 46 years. Actually it's worse than that. The correct number is 64 years, not 46 years.
