Nope. Dissilusioned with that whole clan. However, I did feel sad when he died and out of simple respect and manners for someone who died horribly...I think your remark was tasteless.

By the way, Camelot was a word coined by Jacqueline Kennedy AFTER President Kennedy's death. I believe I am right about that but will check my books. Perhaps someone else with more knowledge on the subject can shed more light on it.

Way before my time. What remark was that?

You are absolutely correct.  Jackie began perpetuating the myth based on the title song from the musical "Camelot" and the MSM took over.

I love how Oliver Stone has "Guy Bannister" toasting Kennedy's death right after the assassination in the film "JFK" by saying, "Camelot in smithereens.  I'll drink to that."  What a maroon.
