Maybe on TV. In person he looked like a fragile painted porcelain doll.
I thought the young Mitt Romney was better looking, but oh well... to each his own.
he was the only PT boat skipper to get run over by an enemy ship.
The JFK mythology is a high tribute to the national press and the democrat machine who deftly put lipstick on a pig and gave it near-deification in the public view.
JFK was crap, accomplished little other than what he believed would politically help him, stole the election and never wrote a single line of his famous books, was so weak and foolish that he almost took us into a nuclear war. In short, the perfect democrat.
This author will probably be stoned to death in public.
One thing you should NEVER do is speak the truth.
Probably. Can’t say because I’ve never seen Romney up close.
There are similarities between JFK and Joseph Smith. They both loved the ladies. Their sudden death rescued them from discovery and ultimate shameful repudiation that they would have experienced had they lived on. Their followers were able to craft a narrative that lives on for generations.
Bay of Pigs wiped out the armed Cuban opposition to Castro.
He abandoned the Eisenhower’s Tibetans to be wiped out to the last man, refusing to take the calls as they were surrounded and out of ammunition.
He got the South Vietnamese president killed (oh, did I do that?). Fired the team which had previously beaten the communists in the Philippines, and turned the counter-insurgency over to his Harvard pals.
The guy was a wrecking ball.
You don’t want to sound heartless, but, Kennedy has this image only because of his assassination. He was made into a mythical figure, and the myth of Camelot arose, only because of his tragic death.
The assassination was the best thing that ever happened to the Democratic Party.
A despicable man from a disgusting family
Yeah but you have to figure after he was knocked off the commies took over the ‘rat party then eventually the Republican party then the entire government where today we’re practically living in a commie country with a commie POTUS. That’s why I think Oswald wasn’t the only one involved.
Libs hate to be reminded that 'Tail-Gunner' Joe McCarthy was a frequent guest at Hyannis Port, as well as a Godfather to one of RFK's children.
I cracked up the first time I saw that pic in an ad in Vintage Guitar Magazine!
Exactly. His greatest accomplishment was to be assassinated. Americans were reluctant to speak ill of the dead. His chickens couldn't come home to roost. And most importantly, liberals were able to create their myth of Camelot.
For those who scoff, remember; liberals tried to do the same (and failed) for Ted Kennedy.
Okay, but he was far superior to anything the Democrats have come up with lately.
RE: There are similarities between JFK and Joseph Smith
I thought Joseph Smith was KNOWN for his polygamy even when he was alive... he actually PREACHED IT.
JFK on the other hand, tried to hide his pecadillos.
As P.J. O’Rourke wrote (primarily referring to the Kennedys),
