It says ... something about our political culture ... that the man with the third-shortest Presidency (and lack of legislative record to match) nonetheless generates SO much press and myth and legend and historical interest - and we at DB Comedy are right there with them. Its John F. Kennedy, and in a super-sized episode, we dive into that myth and look for new historical angles - with snark and wit. We think we did! So please, give this episode a shhaahhh...err...a listen, won't you?
