Message in a Beer Bubble: Ten for Today

  1. Funny you say that. My daughter sent me a clip of the very civilized JFK/Nixon debate from (whenever that was, 1960something) and it was amazing to watch. They were so polite, so refined, so NICE. It was about 7 minutes long or so. And then I snapped back to my senses and mentioned to my daughter that, yes, it was a lovely debate, with no mention of scandals or ugliness whatsoever, but then again Nixon was a horrible anti-Semite, among other rotten things, and JFK had women stashed in closets around the WH to have sex with as the mood took him. Two awful men who would be mercilessly trashed now all over Twitter if they were running for anything, and rightfully so.

    1. Perhaps it’s the over exposure through the various media that makes this exhausting. We know too much too often. I do think there is a significant difference in tactics of the candidates and the behavior of the press this election also. There are far fewer reliable news sources than there were in the Nixon and Kennedy eras.
