Well stated! I'm know I've done it too, but bringing up someone else's wrongdoing (e.g. Bush) when dealing with a completely different person (Kennedy) really doesn't make much sense. It doesn't give validity to the original person in question's errors. It doesn't make one person better than the other. It's almost akin to a "Nanny nanny boo boo!" finger-pointing comment.
My comments on the Kennedy's will remain with me (cuz they ain't purty!), but thank you for an additional very good point!
