The L.A. Times noted last week that the tax-cut obsessives at the right-wing Club for Growth are running an ad in favor of the Bush economic "plan" linking Bush to JFK:

John F. Kennedy would be appalled at the company his name is keeping, his relatives have concluded.

The former president is mentioned and pictured in a television ad backing President Bush's efforts to persuade Congress to enact a large tax cut.

"President Kennedy cut income taxes and the economy soared," notes the ad, paid for by the Club for Growth, a tax cut advocacy group.

Maybe this was not the best timing:

President John F. Kennedy had an affair with a 19-year-old intern who traveled with him on official trips, according to a new biography of Kennedy.

"She had no skills. She could answer the phone," Robert Dallek, author of "An Unfinished Life," told "Dateline NBC" in an interview that aired Sunday. "Apparently, her only skill was to provide sexual release for JFK on those trips and maybe in the White House."

You know, we cut taxes once in the current administration and it did no good for the economy. However, the economy did wonderfully well during the Clinton years.

Maybe there's a cause-and-effect relationship between a soaring economy and Democratic presidents who fool around with young interns.
