JFK: 1 More Palin Victim — Column

One was a graduate of Choate and Harvard, a president of eloquence for the ages, while the other is a Wasilla, Alaska, high school dropout who mumbles on morning TV -- but both get dissed in Sarah Palin's new book. Levi Johnston, father of Bristol Palin's baby, is a predictable target. John F. Kennedy takes the reader by surprise. But Sarah Palin's commentary on JFK helps demonstrate the depth of shallowness in one with possible aspirations to Kennedy's job. Palin takes out after a defining Kennedy speech, the 1960 appearance where the Catholic presidential nominee discussed separation of church and state before the Greater Houston Ministerial Association/Joel Connelly, Seattle P-I. More here.

Question: Do you think JFK ran away from his Catholic faith, as Sarah Palin asserts in her new book?
