What's in a ger ?

Since I am a 70's child I have always wondered about the gers. Specifically Henry Kissinger, Pierre Salinger, and Arthur Schlesinger. They were all involved in politics, they were all big in the 60's and they all had some association with JF Kennedy. Well, not so much Henry Kissinger. So, which is which ? Let me explain !

Henry Kissinger 

Born: 1923

Died: Alive and Kicking !
Henry Kissinger served under President Nixon and President Ford
Occupation: Diplomat, political scientist, academic, businessman

Everyone needs a Kissinger tie !

My favorite Henry Kissinger song written by Monty Python: 


Henry Kissinger
How I'm missing yer
You're the Doctor of my dreams
With your crinkly hair and your glassy stare
And your Machiavellian schemes
I know they say that you are very vain
And short and fat and pushy but at least you're not insane
Henry Kissinger
How I'm missing yer
And wishing you were here

Henry Kissinger
How I'm missing yer
You're so chubby and so neat
With your funny clothes and your squishy nose
You're like a German parakeet
All right so people say that you don't care
But you've got nicer legs than Hitler
And bigger tits than Cher
Henry Kissinger
How I'm missing yer
And wishing you were here

His favorite game is : Diplomacy which can still be purchased on Amazon.com 

Pierre Salinger

Born:1925
Died:2004

Occupation:1964 was the US Senator from California. From 1961-1964 served as the White House Press Secretary
Connection to Kennedy Clan: Served as the US Press Secretary under Kennedy. He was worked with Robert Kennedy in the 1968 Presidential Campaign. 


Pierre Salinger Syndrome: Yes..there is such a thing..

It's the eyebrows that I find disturbing

Taken from Webopedia: 
The tendency for one to believe that everything he reads on the Internet is true. Named for the former White House press secretary and journalist Pierre Salinger who reportedly relayed a bogus report that he read on the Internet, stating that TWA flight 800, which crashed on July 17, 1996, had been the victim of friendly fire. Salinger, in fact, did not get his information from the Internet but from reputable security agents who were incorrect.

Love the glasses and the bow tie

Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. 

Born:1939
Died:2007

He generally looks like this in pictures

Occupation: Writer and Historian. Very interesting man....had a lot of facets to him ! 

What is up with the dude behind him ??

Connection to the Kennedy Clan: Was friends with JF Kennedy, Hung out with Jacqueline, and in 1961 ambassadorship and Assistant Secretary of State for Cultural Relations. He actually did a lot with the Kennedy Clan and wrote a lot of autobiographies. It is no wonder Jackie chose him to interview her !
