RFK Jr considering run for President

[DFW]

117. We were schoolmates as kids

He was a class under me, but we used to hang out at recess. Our dads were pretty fast friends. We lost touch after his uncle was killed, and he went to another school.

We got back in touch during his Ring of Fire days, and I suspect he had a had a hand in my younger daughter getting admitted to Pace Law, though he never said so. I saw him briefly at her graduation (2010), but that was the last time. He used to teach environmental law there.

He certainly seems to have gone off the deep end since (he wouldn't be the first of my old friends to do that). Too bad. I think he meant well initially, just got totally waylaid be either the wrong people or the wrong set of propaganda (or both).

Bobby running for POTUS is to be taken about as seriously as him running for Sultan of Brunei, and I say so sadly, as one who used to like him. I have had friends run for president before, whom I take as seriously now as I did then (does the name Howard Dean still ring a bell with anyone?). As for Bobby, I would ask him what Frank Zappa once asked of Suzy Creamcheese: What's got into ya?
