john. that album was called the rst family. the comedian who did the impersonations of john f. kennedy and bobby kennedy and his whole family, him name was vaughn meader. when he put out that record in 1963 it became the fastest selling record in the history of records at that time. it sold 1.2 million copies in its first week. it ultimately sold millions and millions of copies and in 1963 grammy awards it won album of the year. and it was you know, it s not the most mean-spirited comedy in the world but it was making fun of the president and making fun of the president s whole family, which is the sort of thing that makes everybody prickly, even if they are the president. this is how john f. kennedy responded in 1962 when asked about it formally at a press conference that was not held at his family s breakfast table. back stairs at the white house and cartoon books with clever sayings and photo albums
