Bill Clinton’s legacy: Came-a-lot.
If Barack wins it, he’s gonna let down a whole lot of people who thought he was God.
“....immortal insult: “I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you’re no Jack Kennedy.””
Made “immortal” only by the fawning Left Media and a loaded crowd at the debate. To the “you’re no Jack Kennedy” retort the proper reponse is: “I am very proud to not be associated with the likes of JFK”.
But, why Quayle would seek to identify himself in the first place, with a manufactured icon of the enemy Left, the hugely overrated, supremely mediocre Kennedy, is a mystery
Ironically the only thing this old buzzard said in that statement that was true was Quayle wasn't Jack Kennedy. Dan Quayle was much to honorable to have been Jack Kennedy. Everything else was total fiction in that Loyd Bentsen never met JFK and was not a friend.
Please ratmedia, please keep talking this stuff.
Another hit piece on JFK? Evidently the likening of Obama to JFK has got those upset that are in the Hellary camp. I remember Peter Jennings doing a hit piece on JFK in front of Diane Sawyer who had just a few weeks before lavished praise on the Camelot era. All to protect BoyClinton when he was doing the Monica-maneuver by establishing that he was not as bad as JFK. (Wonder if JFK gave away any military secrets?)
I am amazed that they want what the want to the determent of the truth. What away to live your life!
“As a survivor of RFK’s 1968 campaign,” historian Arthur Schlesinger told
me, “I see John Kerry in the JFK/RFK tradition — a brave, intelligent,
and thoughtful man. I find many similarities between that campaign and
this one, especially our entanglement in a hopeless war at the expense of
urgent domestic woes.”

Same old talk every election.
I liked Reagans follow up to Benstons retort. This time, he was talking about Clinton at the 1992 convention:
“This fellow they’ve nominated claims he’s the new Thomas Jefferson. Well, let me tell you something. I knew Thomas Jefferson. He was a friend of mine. And governor, you’re no Thomas Jefferson.”
and another great line from that speech:
“Until then, we see all that rhetorical smoke, billowing out from the Democrats, well ladies and gentlemen, I’d follow the example of their nominee. Don’t inhale.”
JFK has more in common with the republicans of today than the democrats of today. He was fiscally conservative and strong on national defense. Does that sound like Obama??
I thought Barak was all about CHANGE?
Now he’s going back to the 60’s to become a Kennedy?
That is more like a flash back then it is a change.
