I think it’s more of a Camelot-ization of Bhutto than a Diana-ization. JFK is widely regarded by the media, and the Left, as one of our greatest Presidents. In reality, he accomplished very little.

I recall Rush mentioning RFK’s signature close to his speeches where he quoted George Bernard Shaw “There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why… I dream of things that never were and ask why not.” and think it applies to the “remembering” of both JFK and Bhutto. In both cases, we see the transference of what the media wanted, what could have been, versus what actually happened. Consequently, defects are not just glossed over, they’re entirely discredited by the deification process. The focus on “coulda, shoulda, woulda” ignores the very real problems of getting from the here of “what is” to the there of “what might be” and that the biggest obstacle in the journey might be the person they’re deifying.
