I have never understood, and may never understand, why there is such deification of the Kennedy family.

At the time of Ted Kennedy’s funeral, Chris Mathews said that Obama is the last Kennedy brother.

I feel as terrible as anyone that President Kennedy got shot, but why do we still live with the Camelot myth?

The Camelot myth came about due to being pushed by Jackie Kennedy. When JFK was alive, nobody said that we were living in the Camelot era. It was only after he died that retroactively people began referring to Camelot.

It’s CAME A LOT. It’s easy to get it mixed up when you push all the letters together.

Ted did inspire Michael Phillips and Mark Spitz.

Perhaps the same reason why it’s okay to cheat on your spouse as a leftist. Just guessing!

Old man Kennedy was a crook. He ran the Irish Mafia and smuggled booze during prohibition.

Simply because the Patriarch, Joe Kennedy was best friends and financial supporter of Adolf Hitler.
