Oops

I saw something on the Today show this morning that would have made me laugh if I wasn’t cringing. Matt Lauer interviewed RFK Jr. At the beginning of the interview he asked Kennedy how his father was doing, then quickly corrected himself and asked how Kennedy’s uncle was doing. You’d expect that from Meredith but not Matt. Kennedy handled it gracefully and said his uncle Ted was doing well. I might have been tempted to answer something like, “He’s been dead for forty years; he was assassinated, but thanks for asking.”
