I just caught the tail end of A.J Benza's commentary on Marilyn Monroe's death on the 1:00p.m. 12/10 show re: JFK and RFK's involvement in the affair.
A.J.'s comments?
Well, A.J. seems to be a paid apologist for the Kennedy family, whereby he says of JFK and RFK: "The Kennedy brothers weren't exactly angels, but murder??? C'mon!"
I recalled a part Jack Lemmon played in Oliver Stone's Movie, "JFK". Although the movie was fictitiously jaded in some obscure areas, and Stone took great director's license to make it seem too real, it's basic "motive theme" was nonetheless right on the mark.
Jack Lemmon played a character sidekick to Guy Banister (Edward Asner) a shady, covert CIA operative. In the scene at the racetrack where he (the Lemmon character) was being interrogated by Jum Garrison (Kevin Costner)after Banister's death, Lemmon said to Garrison: "Man! You are naive, aren't you!"
Considering how many women have been raped, injured, traumatized and worse in the presence of a male Kennedy icon-sacred cow, I was compelled to snicker aloud (ice-cold Coca-Cola aspirated up through my nostrils) at A.J. Benza's naive analysis of the Kennedy brothers.
