A Sober Mind
My mother has a saying that she picked up from her mother, and that I’ve used a couple of times: “A drunk man sometimes speaks a sober mind.” That phrase came to mind when I read this recent quote from the son of Robert Kennedy.
We asked him what he thought of President Bush naming the building after his dad.
He said he wouldn’t comment on the record.
But he did call President Bush “the most corrupt and immoral President that we have had in American history.”
Not that he was enamored with Senator John Kerry.
Early in the campaign, Kennedy endorsed Senator John Kerry for President, but last month he expressed disappointment in Kerry’s campaign and in the Democratic Party.
“The Republicans are 95 percent corrupt and the Democrats are 75 percent corrupt,” Kennedy. “They are accepting money from the same corporations. And of course, that is going to corrupt you.”
Say what you will about the Kennedy’s, from Joe Senior’s bootlegging to Ted Kennedy’s drinking. This particular Kennedy, on this particular subject speaks a sober mind, if you ask me.
