The country would have been better off with McKinley.
Where is the humor?
I don’t get it.
who else can hear Harris cackling right now.
Vaughn Meador was a comedian in the early 1960s who had two highly successful hit records because of his dead-on impersonation of JFK (JFK said “I always thought he sounded like Bobby”).
Meador was on a plane to Las Vegas on November 22, 1963 and was unaware of the news while he was in the air. As he was met at the airport in Las Vegas, a greeter asked him “Do you know Kennedy’s been shot?”. In his Kennedyesque accent, he replied “No, but if you hum a few bars, I’ll try to fake it.”
Needless to say, his show in Vegas was cancelled and Meador’s entire career was collateral damage to the shooting in Dallas.
Here’s some real humor: Andrew Jackson beat the shit out of the guy who tried to kill him.
