...than everyone else's?

Frankly, I never ever liked the guy, objecting most strenuously to his tenure as River Keeper of the Hudson. He is advertised as an "environmental lawyer." I think the term is an oxymoron in his case.

I am, however, rather cynical about the Kennedy family in toto, particularly after reading Beschloss, by the way. He may have not intended as such, and may feel differently about the Kennedys than I do, but nonetheless, I read it that way.

I'm intrigued. What evidence is there that "brain worm" "bear dumping" Bobby Jr. has methyl mercury poisoning worse... NNadir Aug 2024 #2

He has discussed it. Google it. In his peak body-building period he was eating virtually nothing but tuna months/years hlthe2b Aug 2024 #3

I don't credit his self diagnosis of mercury poisoning at all. His insight to science is abysmal, and always has been. NNadir Aug 2024 #4

I see no reason to lie about eating tuna constantly and I have seen it in body-building men in the ER in past decades... hlthe2b Aug 2024 #5

I tend to disagree with the idea that one needs a reason to lie to do so. NNadir Aug 2024 #6

You are not informed about methyl mercury toxicity. I have both advanced medical training as well as toxicology. hlthe2b Aug 2024 #7

Well, I think JFK's most famous or promoted quote from his inaugural speech was the beginning departure from FDR's Uncle Joe Aug 2024 #10
