An interesting post here a week or so ago where Teddy was on the boat when the plane wreckage was raised from the ocean. Apparently, what he saw made him turn white as a sheet, he ordered the plane to be covered, and Navy team who raised it were sworn to secrecy. Arkancide.
Despite what the “rags” say, because JFK, Jr. grew up under the influence of his mother, he avoided most of the issues that was the downfall of other Kennedy clan members. Had he lived, he would have won two terms in the Senate from New York State in 2000 and 2006 (he’d probably be living in the same neighborhood that Clintons now live in now at Chappaqua, NY!) and would have run for President in 2012—and win.
JFK jr was an undertrained under qualified novice without instrument rating who flew into a fog at night and believed his ‘feelings’ over his instruments and augered into the sea.
He had the Kennedy overconfidence like his cousin who ‘flew’ down black diamond slopes playing football and plowed straight into a tree.
No doubt he could have tried, the Hyannisport swamp runs deep
Ya know Ya know Ya know. She is a moron.
He killed himself, his wife, and her sister by flying in conditions for which he was unqualified. Poor judgment does not make up for glamor.
The Bessette parents must have been destroyed by his rashness.
And Caroline - overbred, underfed, and for all her grievous losses, still living in cotton wool.
Not a snowball's chance...
The most valuable gift that the corrupt Kennedy clan have left the American people is an abiding and permanent revulsion for political Dynasties. And if the Kennedys didn't make it clear, the utterly corrupt Criminal Clintons just reinforced the obvious.
The late incompetent dullwitted embassador to GB should have made it as clear as necessary.
No political dynasties should be a seriously considered Constitutional Amendment.
Crony Capitalism on steroids...
I agree.
Complete amateur flyer.
Another well-dodged bullet.
Recent history hasn't been all bad!
He was royalty. Of course he would have run, if Hillary hadn’t taken him out him for wanting the Senate seat she had to have.
No I’m starting to question his accidental death.
He could possibly have won but it would have been, as someone said above, for style, not substance. However, everything I've read about him says he was a decent guy despite having every advantage anyone could possibly have.
Doubt he would have been the money/power monger Hillary is or the ideologue Obama is.
I know your sarc tag was implied, but still - that’s a DUmmie comment
What is it with so many wanting to create some sort of royalty/dynasty aspect to being President of the United States of America?
Between the Kennedys, Bushes, Clintons- it is insanity. Enough already! We don’t need to even consider someone based on their name. The media hypes Chelsea, and numerous Kennedys, this Bush and that Bush...there seems to be no end to it.
Anything I’ve ever read about him he didn’t really want to hold public office but tended to do what his mommy told him to. He probably would have run some half-hearted campaign at some point and maybe ended up with Uncle Teddy’s Senate seat, but that’s about it.
I agree.
Unless he were dead. Which he was
