Never again
Gore Vidal is such a badass. Watching the United States of Amnesia, there are a hundred quotes of his that freak me out completely, but I especially love this one about JFK:
"I liked him tremendously, and I hang his picture in my library. Not as an icon, not as a memory of Camelot, not as a memory of glorious nights at the White House or Bel Air - but never again to be taken in by anybody's charm. He was one of the most charming men I've ever known, one of the most intelligent, and one of the most disastrous presidents I think we've ever had."
