Kennedy deserved to be sniped at too. That was the point, Laz. Once that sniping was private. At some point it became public. I think the fulcrum was the public debate over Vietnam, which was so polarizing that polarization became the norm for public discourse even about foreign policy. Noonan stretches the point by making it a Clinton/Carter thing. Both sides have been doing it since the late 1960's.
