I was watching The Godfather with my mom many years ago, and we both immediately registered verbal disgust w/Fredo’s “handling” of his father’s shooting. I said, “I want you to know that if some asshole shot you, I’d handle it far better than Fredo.”
She smiled and said something like, “I know you would, Sweetheart,” which was very sweet and very, very Detroit at the same time.
It is often said that the main gift the former president had was the ability to read a crowd. It seems that ability was not passed down to his offspring.
Yeah, despite his manifest and obvious failings as businessman and human being, the father has often been described as charismatic, whereas his shitbag son is just a thoroughly unlikable, needy shitbag.
I think if this was Little House on the Prairie, Junior would definitely be Nellie, and Eric would be Willie, but where does that leave Ivanka? (Jumping the shark) Nancy?
