A Strangely Prescient Episode
30 November 2018
The safe passage of JFK from Idlewild - now JFK - Airport to the UN is assigned to Toody and Muldoon only months before his assassination in a motorcade. The episode was changed prior to syndication showing LBJ in the motorcade after a speech at the UN rather than the original which showed a clip of Jack and Jacqui in a ticker tape parade. I notice that the whole episode has been pulled from YouTube with another episode being substituted. No need for conspiracy theories here. I am sure the fact that Muldoon takes downers and then uppers to combat his nervousness about being responsible for the safety of the president that hit a raw nerve in the mid 60's. It was funny and would have remained funny if not for the events of Nov 22 1963. Ironically, by the end of the episode, it is Toody and Muldoon who are mistakenly seen as being the major threat to the president's safety.
