Ultimately, though, Robert Kennedy believed it was best to steer clear of Sinatra.

Sinatra stood the test of time.

The Kennedys, not so much.

Prize scumbags, the lot of them.

They made a movie about Sinatra and Kennedy - The Rat Pack with Ray Liotta. Explains it all.

In the 1954 movie “Suddenly”, Sinatra plays a gangster that attempts to assassinate the President of the United States. Sinatra gets shot by the pacifist, gun-hating Ellen Benson at the end.

Ray Liotta was great in everything he did.

You hate them because of the big tax cuts, and being pro-life?

One of the better episodes of Mike Hammer, imo.

Kill Devil

Ray Liotta as Tony Cable

Lots of dead girls in the Kennedy neighborhood.

If you left the Yankee Clipper, JFK and some Louisville ash in a room alone, only Joltin' Joe would have walked out.

Pro-life in a very loose way—recall he was elected in 1960, not 1968. He would have been much more effective that way if he could have kept it zipped up and not been effectively a hypocrite.

We certainly have done worse

That’s life
(That’s life)
That’s what all the people say
You’re riding high in April, shot down in May
But I know I’m gonna change that tune
When I’m back on top, back on top in June

Sinatra was a big-mouth pip-squeak punk.

I wouldn't bet my last nickel that Sinatra wasn't mobbed up. In fact,I'd be willing to bet that the Mob tried to get to him. It seems to me that the Mob and Castro are the two most plausible suspects in JFK's assassination.

“Sinatra was a big-mouth pip-squeak punk.”

A great singer, though.

Late in his life, Sinatra was a Reagan supporter. I saw him sing live once—at rally for Reagan in the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles in 1980 around the time of Reagan’s birthday, Sinatra led the crowd in singing “Happy Birthday”—a great performance that I will never forget.
