“The name “Camelot” is such an accepted sobriquet for the Kennedy Administration that many don’t recognize it as a creation of Jackie Kennedy’s during a Life magazine interview following JFK’s assassination. It certainly evokes an image of a romantic fairy-tale … but, when considered in light of its origin, it’s nowhere near as flattering a nickname as it was intended to be.
“What prompted Jackie’s analogy was the 1960 Lerner and Loewe musical “Camelot”, which presents the kingdom ruled by King Arthur as a place built on lofty principles, more idyllic than Eden. The plot, however, focuses on the forces out to destroy Camelot – the adulterous romance between Lancelot and Arthur’s queen, Guenevere, and the machinations of Arthur’s bitter illegitimate son, Mordred. Arthur, though witty and idealistic, is not very adept at thinking for himself or dealing with the thornier aspects of government...
>>The 1953 wedding of Jacqueline Bouvier and then-Sen. John F. Kennedy was so perfect it is still being talked about more than 65 years later. As recently as 2017, gossip website The List was still calling it “the most beautiful wedding ever.” It was a fairy tale worthy of the legendary couple who would preside over Camelot.
A gossip website in 2017 wrote about a wedding from 65 years ago.
There is a website or forum on every single bit of minutiae about everything these days.
Johnson and Smith “x-ray specs” catalogs.
The secret coded numbers in the dead wax of 45s recorded by Cosimo Matassa.
Telling me a gossip website wrote about a celebrity’s early days from over half a century ago is no sign of lasting “greatness” or “perfection”.
A perfect wedding. (JFK probably nailed a couple of other “broads” at the reception.)
It wasn’t all smooth sailing. Her father, John (Black Jack) Bouvier was too drunk to escort Jackie down the aisle.

Worst of all, Jackie wanted her father, John Vernou ‘Black Jack’ Bouvier, to give her away. Her mother, Janet Auchincloss, had a different plan. She excluded Bouvier, her ex-husband, from the pre-wedding parties and told him he wasn’t welcome at the reception. Then she secretly assigned Michael Canfield, her son-in-law, to make sure Bouvier got so drunk before the wedding he couldn’t attend.

A differnt view of “cum-a-lot”
I didden read this bllcrap. The Ole Afro American (or cuban, Haitian, or pr, or caribe or whatever) could have quit, and left a whitesa to finish up. Sick of hearing about this sort of racial crap.
I grew up in southeastern Pennsylvania. I was a 16 year old high school sophomore when JFK was killed. No one I knew had any JFK pictures hanging in their homes. The morning after the assassination, our home phone started to ring early and it seemed that my father was on various calls all day. Most of the callers were his Italian American friends from the country club and from what I could hear, the theme of every call was celebration with much laughter included. And no one seemed surprised at all.
Caroline Kennedy makes Chelsea Clinton sound positively polished.
Whomever chose the gown — Jackie or Joe — it’s gorgeous and classy! Love the neckline.
I have no use for any Kennedy, living or dead, except perhaps Bobby, Jr., who wants more research and info on the vaccine issue - whether they’re safe or not. (I’m not saying they’re unsafe or safe, but research without Big Pharma pulling strings would be nice.)
I remember that time as a young girl, very young, I think 12 or so, and it was a little magical. Those guys seemed to glue us all together, (I was in NY on Long Island) and we all had that kind of almost giddy feeling of ‘this is wonderful’ and you know what...? Trump brings it.
I know of their imperfections. But, I don’t mind. It was a wonderful time to be proud of being American.
As it is now for me. We are the most wonderful country in the world.
We really are.
Now that’s a LIE!!
Maybe not AS good :)
I have seen and enjoy your posts.
Don’t recall the joking side though and this post made me actually LOL. :)
That should be a new FR rule. Anytime a former FLOTUS article is posted (like Big Mike) a picture of Melania.
I’m guessing this is to show that Jackie Kennedy was just another old white racist.
Thank you for that tip.
In the summer of 1961 we were living in a rental home with a portrait of JFK in the living room captioned, “John F. Kennedy, Man of the Sixties”.
I mean, JFK had taken office only five months earlier and the Sixties had just begun! Oh, well, those were optimistic times, with the New Frontier and the space program and kids saying to each other, “A-OK and all systems are GO!”
He was a disaster, fraud and sex predator who stole the Presidency. We’ve never recovered from the damage he and LBJ inflicted.
I know many Irish Catholic Boston Dems, blinded by kennedy and boy do they have TDS.
You are most welcome.
