Gee, I'm not sure I totally agree with you, Jock. Jacqueline Kennedy was an extremely intelligent and well-educated woman whose style was to stay behind the scenes--at least in part because the times were different, probably--but did exert a lot of influence on her husband on policy issues, from everything I have read. It's just my opinion, but I think she was every bit as smart as Hillary Clinton.

After Kennedy's assassination, Jackie showed tremendous grace and charm publicly, but according to a recent biography was getting drunk every night, to the extent she was worried about her drinking. She also probably had a three-year affair with Bobby Kennedy, ending just before he was also assassinated. Also with her brother-in-law Peter Lawford, and Frank Sinatra. I am not saying that these assignations reflect negatively on her--I think she was a very sensitive and traumatized woman--but that these are both very complicated women, and cannot easily be compared and contrasted.
