HE'S NO JACK KENNEDY, EITHER -- by Steve Nadis

In one of his many duties in addition to running the country, Karl Rove is now focusing on the "legacy" of George W. Bush. Earlier this month, when one White House staffer suggested that time was scarce on the legacy front, Rove claimed there was plenty of time. "Jack Kennedy's whole presidency was two-and-a-half years," he said, as reported in the Washington Post.

With all due respect, Mr. Rove, I knew Jack Kennedy. I remember clearly the day he was shot (I was in grade school). And your boy is no Jack Kennedy. You could have two-and-a-half years or 100 years, and it would not turn your Vietnam era draft dodger (who played duck-and-cover during his "defining moment," 9/11) into a World War II war hero.

Mission accomplished? I think not. Try Mission Impossible. And while you're at it, maybe you can convince that screwball Tom Cruise to play "W."

2 - Not to worry Karl, when my kids and their kids and their kids are left paying for your party's wars and tax cuts George W. Bush's name will always be remembered. More than likely in close proximity to a few profanitities. (Comment this)

3 - Thanks Z. And well said, Doc. You're absolutely right. There is a legacy here, and it's a legacy of shame. (Comment this)
