Potential squandered though. When he died the man was 38, started a ridiculous literary magazine that belonged on a college newsroom floor and failed the bar exam two times.
It’s kind of embarrassing that ABC and others are holding him as anything but a failure to launch.
But this is exactly what I liked best about him. He was a Kennedy but struggled like many of us. He wasn't perfect but so easy to root for.
Also, so easy on the eyes!

So true about Caroline. It’s terrible. His voice was LOUD and pitchy. I wonder if he wasn’t a little bit on the spectrum or something. It’s like he couldn’t regulate his speech.
Extreme reaction to something relatively innocuous.

I really liked him and will watch the special. I always hoped he would go into and succeed in politics.

From what I remember, he and his wife were feuding a lot in the time leading up to the wedding (that they were headed to on that plane).

JFK Jr. has been dead for twenty years and literally did nothing notable with his life. Why are they still running specials on him??
