“I love asking members of the JFK fan club what exactly he ever did.”
It’s not what he did its like the song says “didn’t you love the things that he stood for?” (Wonder if somebody paid off Neil Diamond?)
You are correct. You could also point out that he spent less time "standing" than he did in bed . . . Just sayin'.
