So what? Like he wrote it out by candlelight. Somebody thought it would be a good move right about now to look gracious. I suppose I agree with the comments about T.V. persona presidents. I like the dull ones. I liked Dukakis. I liked Dole. Being personally uninteresting is proper attire for the office of the president, and if one is interesting, the media should take it pretty lightl, as a side-issue. Kennedy is not a model most politicians should follow, but they hire writers and handlers and try. If Kennedy hadn't been James Deaned I doubt he would haunt the political consciouness the way he does. And that would be good.
