Kennedy’s spokesman’s euphemism has the potential of legend about it. “Too blind drunk to read it” just does not have the same ring. Guido is wary of mocking Kennedy, in fact if you are reading this Charles – lets do lunch – Friday is always good for me. Push the boat out, polish off some of the the good stuff. Sod ’em. You are just not cut out for a career in after dinner speaking – before dinner speaking maybe…

Guido once gave an after-dinner speech sober – it was my wedding speech. Never again.
