The History channels new mini-series exploring the Kennedy family up until the assasination of JFK has been criticised by some as being a "right wing hatchet job" on the families reputation.

More tellingly for me at least.....

Greg Kinnear as JFK?!



What next?, Eddie Murphy as Martin Luther King?

"I have a dream! HEH! HEH! HEH!"

That was perfection.

This is starting to sound even more like a right wing stitch up.

Apparently the mini-series fails to mention the Cuban missile crisis, you know that little footnote in history where the WORLD WAS ON THE BRINK OF WORLD WAR 3!!!!!!?????

I'm not exactly a huge fan of the Kennedys or of JFK himself but I think he handled the missile crisis pretty well I think.

The creator of this series says he "almost weeps everytime he thinks about Ronald Reagan".

Now if a democrat said he "almost weeps everytime he thinks of John F Kennedy" you would call that man a pussy and rightly so.

I get pissed because Jacko is the one that permitted government employees to form a union. Then I get pissed even more because before he got a chance to kill the Fed......... 4 days later he was shot. I believe the Fed killed J.F.K.

I think the fact that JFK threatened to split the CIA "into a thousand pieces" played a major part in the reason why he was assassinated.

A president who calls for peace not war? unacceptable.
