Too bad Kennedy was lacking in “experience” he might have made a decent president.

I played this speech (almost entirely) on WDEL on the Mascitti show when I hosted it with Dana on December 31st.
Kennedy had it right.
Kennedy was right and proved voltaire right when he said that it is “dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.”
Good catch Jason – a public service. The guy made his mistakes and miscalculations. And he didn’t really have enough time to learn the job. But he was brilliant. And he came from a tradition in which priviledged people still, sometimes, felt a responsibility to serve.
Contrast W., who felt an entitlement to rule, and would not understand this speech if he heard it on headphones.
