Well, you do remember Forrest always talked kindof “funny” because of his “disability. My favorite linei in the film waas when he’s invited to the White House, andhe says enthusiastically. “ The BEST thing aout goin’ to the White House ....is the FOOD!!!!”
Yep. I’ve been asking my wife ever since we saw it “Am I the only person who identified with Forrest Gump??? and claiming in other ways to be just like him. It was a brilliantly conceived character, in more ways than one.
I guess we're going to part company on the subject of Thad Stevens .... he really did want to hang hundreds of Southerners -- thousands? -- for treason, for having led their States (legally) out of the Union.
But it's finally starting to come to light how many fellows with their fingers in the public pie were partisans of Lincoln's party and how many of them were protected in their defalcation by Lincoln personally. Lincoln's administration was in many ways a crime ring just like Obama's and Slick's.
I don't want to get in between JFK and Thad Stevens since I don't know enough about Camelot or Thad Stevens; so I'll just stand aside.
He'll get hanged anywhere north of Mason-Dixon for that revelation.
MLK shared his opinion, btw.
