Kennedy would go on brand new CNN and say worse things about Jimmy than Reagan would later. The next hour Robert Strauss would do his Texas drawl insulting Kennedy’s temperament and character. You could tell which one each media source was for by how they referred to each of them while reading or using passive voice. This is very rare.
No, Paul Ryan is an Eddie Munster clone. Humor.
He did have a robot baby brother in one episode. Then he got jealous of him. Could be.
