Daily Dolt: Illinois Review
Earth to Ted, Caroline, Patrick and others who are marketing Sen. Barack Obama as the new JFK. Kennedy family, get over yourselves. If you really think Sen. Barack Obama is the new JFK, then maybe you didn’t know the record of the real JFK from 1947 to 1963. Let’s review the bidding.
If you live in Illinois and voted for JFK or Nixon in the 1960 election, I am sorry to be the one to do the math but even if that was your first vote you have at least passed your 68th birthday and are on your way to the “gettin up there” stage of life. So what? So that’s a very long time to hold on to a myth that was never real to start with and expect that it will impress people whose only knowledge of JFK comes from fawning historians and aging journalists.
During 1962, Jack Kennedy was alive and well. Everyone called him Jack. No one ever called him “John Fitzgerald” in that mournful patter until after he was murdered by a communist in 1963. If you still doubt that and are an honest person, read Gerald Posner’s book, Case Closed, and set aside your doubts for all time.
Yes, the Kennedy family doesn’t know anything about the history of their own family. But Illinois Review will correct that for them. And throw in a Assassination Conspiracy theory to boot.

And no one ever called the current candidate “Barack Hussein…”
Oh, wait.
