Political Rant of the Day
As much as I detest the politics of the Kennedy family, I wish nothing but a speedy recovery for Senator Kennedy in the wake of his recent medical troubles.
But it got me to thinking about the Kennedy "legacy" and the Vice Presidential debate a few years back when Dan Quayle made a reference to former president John F. Kennedy and was told by his opponent that "I knew John Kennedy and you are no John Kennedy."
Instead of standing there looking sheepish and stupid, he should have said, " You are correct, sir. I am no John F. Kennedy. I am faithful to my wife. I do not abuse prescription drugs. I would never have left Americans stranded on the beach of the Bay of Pigs to be slaughtered. I would never have allowed the corrupt mayor of an American city to manipulate election results to give me the presidency. Yes, sir, I am no John F. Kennedy."
