I had forgotten about Slow Joe's bizarre comment. Funny ... if a Republican Vice President had done something like, maybe, misspell "potatoe" he'd have been pilloried and his political career destroyed.
My point, I guess, is that everything wrong with Kennedy (except the sexual immorality) was even wronger with FDR, so it didn't start with JFK
No but in the age of Television it was about who looked good.
Imagine Television in FDRs time, he sure wouldn’t have been able to cover up his paralysis like he was able to.
Now JFK set the standard for what women want in a candidate, good-looking (well at least they thought he was). And in the early days of Television he became the first political “Rock Star.”
He didn't actually misspell it. He was handed a card with it misspelled. He was a judge at a spelling bee, and that is how it was spelled on the card he was given.
I actually suspect he was set up by some Democrat Union Goon member of the teacher's Union.
