He was instrumental in preventing World War III. He started the
Vietnam War. He started the space program. If this doesn't count as
"getting much done", then I don't know what does.


The space program was started on Ike's watch.

What does infidelity have to do with his legacy? Do you disdain Franklin
Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Dwight Eisenhower as well?


Yeah, the first two.

In fact, if you run
down the founding fathers John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin and
Alexander Hamilton have all been accused of being adulterers. Who cares?


Different context in those days when life expectancy of a woman was often in
her 20's.

Yeah, but he never committed perjury about it, which is what got Clinton
impeached.

If you're not part of the solution, you can make a lot of money prolonging
the problem.

I've harbored a simmering resentment of the Kennedy clan ever
since, and now vote against them and their Democrat friends
whenever I get the chance. Revenge is sweet.


Watch out or we'll send the Daleks after you.
