For God’s sake, man, will this senseless Kennedy worship never end?
ABC’s Chris Cuomo and Claire Shipman noted the tenth anniversary of the death John F. Kennedy, Jr. by dubbing him “the prince of Camelot.”
Shipman said his “very existence had somehow come to represent a critical link to our fairy tale past. And always, always the possibility of another chapter.”
“And a decade later,” Shipman whimpered, “it’s still the potential we remember, the what-might-have-been.”
The key phrase here is “fairy tale,” because the reality of John John’s life veers quickly into a display of no potential whatsoever.
It’s also been widely reported that “the prince” wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer. He failed the New York bar exam twice. He published George, a money-losing political magazine. He dated the horse-faced Sarah Jessica Parker and the whorish Madonna. And as a result of inexperience, arrogance or stupidity (take your choice), he flew his airplane into the ocean at night.
The fairy tale of unfulfilled Kennedy potential took another blow last year when John John’s sister Caroline (the princess of Camelot, we assume) made an embarrassing and quickly-aborted run for the Senate in New York.
Of course, the liberal media spoon feeds tasty fairy tale morsels to the masses and they eat it up.
If you’ll excuse us, we have an unfulfilled urge to vomit.
