‘The Great Equivocator in all respects ...’: Reader No. 1 on JFK:
“I saw a quick interview with JFK on Fox 25 -- he may be the Great Equivocator in all other respects, but there was no doubt in his voice when he said ‘I'm not going to put myself at a competitive disadvantage...’
“Suggestion for journalists: look up the provision of campaign law which so disadvantages JFK, and find out his voting record on it. Oh... never mind, we all know what it will tell us... Let's not lose sight of one thing: whether or not he accepts the nomination, it is ludicrous to close down the Greater Boston area for 4 days, at taxpayer expense, so that the political class can pat themselves on the back. It's only slightly more ludicrous if he opts for cyber-nomination (which sounds like an Al Gore idea...)
“Let's not lose sight of another thing, at the risk of sounding like a broken record: he'll suffer no penalty for this massive selfishness in Massachusetts, because we are a one party state, and Bush Is Bad.”
