Thomas says "Kennedy was a less polarizing figure than Nixon" which ignores the fact that Kennedy's decision to seek the Democratic nomination in 1968 only after Eugene McCarthy drew first-blood against LBJ in the New Hampshire primary caused outraged Liberals to consider Kennedy an opportunist who was splitting the anti-war vote, putting his personal ambition ahead of the need to end the Viet Nam war. In fact, in early 1968 Kennedy announced he would not oppose LBJ "under any foreseeable circumstances," further fueling the charge of opportunism when he "reassessed" his decision and jumped into the race a few days later. ...

While Mr. Thomas is correct that Nixon was "bitter" about the Kennedys, he is incorrect about his reasons. Senator John F. Kennedy was given security briefings from the Administration about the Bay of Pigs operation on the draw boards of the Eisenhower Administration, as was Vice President Nixon during the 1960 campaign. It was understood the information was classified. Still, Kennedy sandbagged Nixon in a televised debate by attacking the Administration and Nixon for not being willing to be more aggressive with Castro including an invasion, knowing that Nixon could not agree.

What if Spartacus had a Piper Cub?

Don't be silly, Spartacus wouldn't have flown a Piper Cub.

He would have flown a Gladiator.

Bobby was the worst of a bad lot.

Though not fat, drunk and stupid like the swimmer survivor.

[Cheburashka]

Well, I am Spartacus, and I would have flown an F-14.

I don’t know that she is a Marxist. I do feel that she is an elitist, hugely wealthy, individual who considers the rest of us proles to be as dust.
