Teddy has a lot more souls to account for than Mary Jo; just a few million of the unborn.

[CAD Daddy]

Oops. I guess someone already stole that.

Camelot ended? Not yet, they breed and they run for office on name only, and the ignorant serfs love them.

[RJS1950]

One can only hope that the myth is dead, but I doubt it.

-—yep—Camelot=Brigadoon=Shangri La=Utopia—

Camelot, my ass. What do a bunch of spoiled brats descended from an Irish liquor and molasses smuggler have to do with a legendary English King?

[boomop1]

Camelot was a den of thieves and miscreants.

[VanDeKoik]

Camelot?

Everyone under 40 couldn’t care less about some crusty hippies circle-jerk over these hack posers from mASSachusetts.

[Verginius Rufus]

I don't think King Arthur would have called himself "English." Wasn't he fighting the Anglo-Saxons?

I don't think the "Camelot" metaphor was applied to the Kennedy administration until after JFK's death.

And if there is a Kennedy legacy, it's not his political philosophy so much as the bizarre American yearning for royalty and myth.

Exactly! The NYTimes today is effusive with praise for Ted's turn to the comforts of religion in his final days. You can almost see the angels coming down with a white chariot to sweep him up to the heavenly court. And they write it without he slightest trace of irony.

Thank God

[paulycy]

It is a silly place.

The end of the story is that a great famine hits the world, the economy crashes, everything turns to third-world BS, and eve the Camelodeans are dragged into the side of a mountain and removed from the world stage.

Too many Democrats imagine that the Dark Age ends with their arrival, not that it begins!

[muawiyah]

Arthur was NOT English ~ good grief. If you want to misappropriate the story, don't change the ethnicity.

The Kennedy's weren't Britons either ~ they lived in Scota (now renamed after Ir with Alba renamed as Scotia).

[muawiyah]

Teddy died a hard core abortion supporter ~ he loved his dead babies fur shur.

No way that man turned to religion in his old age. The claim that he did so is bizarre to the point of madness.

[Mogollon]

“Camelot” only existed in the minds of leftist journalists.
