I've watched him for a long time and I see him creating and image of a good old country boy which is not exactly who he is----but it works. For the most part I agree with his politics, and in that tape I'd give him a standing ovation.
If I were the Honorable David Turk's boss and I saw that performance I'd be waiting at the door when mr turk returned and tell him to clean out his desk It pisses me off that the mealy mouthed toad is being paid with our money.
A little about the "good old country boy":
Kennedy was born in Centreville, Mississippi, and raised in Zachary, Louisiana. After graduating from Zachary High School as co-valedictorian in 1969, he entered Vanderbilt University, where his interdepartmental major was in political science, philosophy and economics. He graduated magna cum laude.
At Vanderbilt, Kennedy was elected president of his senior class and named to Phi Beta Kappa. He received a Juris Doctor in 1977 from the University of Virginia School of Law, where he was an executive editor of the Virginia Law Review and elected to the Order of the Coif.[5] In 1979, he earned a Bachelor of Civil Law degree with first class honours from Magdalen College, Oxford,[6][7] where he studied under Sir Rupert Cross and John H.C. Morris.[citation needed]
