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.

Way before my time. What remark was that?

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.

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.

Your remark was your title about the assination because evidently you thought the Pope was getting too much attention.

I didn't see Oliver Stones "rendition" of JFK and never would. We LIVED that time. We VOTED for JFK. We CRIED when he was assinated. That was it. Many years later we found out who he really was and felt betrayed. That said...we still feel bad as we reflect back on that horrible day, the funeral, the sadness in our whole world.

Camelot...I know where it came from. I also know it was coined by Jacqueline and therefore picked up by the idiot news media (of which are falling by the wayside as we speak)...being put out of business by the internet and outlets like Free Republic.

The Kennedy time is over. It was and never will be again. However, it was still a TASTELESS and unnecessary headline on a day of joy for millions of others. I can't imagine why you or anyone else would have such a need to jump in there with something so totally irrelevant and unrelated to a story that was the headline of the day. But...that's what makes the world go round I guess. However, I was brought up better and was taught manners and respect.
