The mythical JFK

One of the top bloggesr over at the CADRE has a comment which graphically illustrates the dangers of parallelomania:

*******************************************

Seriously, I have seen better comparisons between Lincoln and Kennedy in my e-mail than this. You know the type:

Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846 while Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946

Lincoln was elected President in 1860 while Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Lincoln's wife lost a child while living in the White House while Kennedy's wife lost a child while living in the White House

Lincoln was directly concerned with Civil Rights while Kennedy was also directly concerned with Civil Rights

Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy who told him not to go to the theater while Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln who told him not to go to Dallas

Both were shot in the back of the head in the presence of their wives.

Lincoln shot in the Ford Theatre and Kennedy shot in a Lincoln, made by Ford.

Both Lincoln and Kennedy were shot on a Friday

Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth, was known by three names, comprised of fifteen letters while Kennedy's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was known by three names, comprised of fifteen letters

This is a much better comparison than the weak comparison between Jesus and St. Nicholas made by Anonymous. Yet, I think most people would find me a looney if I claimed that these comparisons prove that Lincoln and Kennedy are both based on myth.
