There is nothing to adore about the Camelot of a Kennedy - whichever drunkard letch it is.

They should call it "Came-a-lot."

Such a deeply religious clan. They fretted everso about which magnate to whore out the widow Jackie....They finally settled on Aristotle Onassis after the contract had been worked out and their idea of decorum had been preserved. We later saw the widow butt-naked in photographs (full frontal, BTW) at Ari’s pool, IIRC.

As a clan goes, the Kennedys are about the most despicable that has ever been, and now word comes of another Red-headed Kennedy monster ready to assume the Kennedy mantel in his quest for the Congress.

According to Barack Obama, the Kennedys brought his daddy to the USA.

Amen. Never liked Kennedy, but this reminded me of something out of the Tabloids.

And it’s a bit more than betraying one’s wife in the JFK case. JFK was exploiting the weak.

Hamilton did not do such a thing, nor is there any evidence afaik that the very troubling adjectives “often and frequently” apply to Hamilton’s case.

"but [Hamilton, FDR, JFK, MLK] would have died before betraying their country"

(1) Untestable emotional hyperbole.

(2) What does "betraying the country" mean? In each case some other true and contemporaneous patriots had serious public arguments that each of those men were betraying their country.

Thanks, yeah. I narrowed my scope to their examples, even though Al Ham was a “Democratic-Republican” - guess that’s what we would have called GW a hundred years ago.

As a side note, Jackie’s reputation must be a fraud as well.

She really was a well-born airhead, and social climber who married for status and money because that’s all she knew.
