From "The Lasting Appeal of John F. Kennedy Jr./A CNN documentary and an upcoming series by Ryan Murphy delve into the nation’s most famous son, who remains fixed in the 1990s" (NYT)(gift link, so you can see the whole story... and all the beefcake pix of the famously gawked-at boy).
Why is it so difficult to find that caricature of Monica Lewinsky biting into a hot dog?
Google gives me 2 pix of Obama stuffing something into his mouth and one of Reagan. This is the most obvious caricature idea for Lewinsky. You'd think dozens of lame efforts would show up in this search. And George Magazine published one. Where is it? Is Google caring for our presumed devotion to the beloved boy? I mean John John. Not that rogue Bill!

Because Bill Clinton is a democrat. Google 'Michelle Bachmann corn dog photo'. Contrast and compare.
Women are advised not to be photographed eating a banana either.
Google is simply bringing its authentic self to work.
Lewinsky bites?!? Bill Clinton must be one sick dude.
The media will never get over their continued adoration of the Kennedy clan - it's the journalistic epitome of the 'sunk cost' fallacy.
I have a suspicion that the Clintons will be treated to the spotlight in a less-than-friendly way in the upcoming weeks. Not sure Bill is ready for prime time though.
I found an AI image of a fake/ young Lewinsky with some hot dogs here:

What I remember about John-John is that he made Elaine lose the contest.
Kids, don't try this at home.
"She also showed him an e-mail describing the effect of chewing Altoid mints before performing oral sex. Ms. Lewinsky was chewing Altoids at the time, but the President replied that he did not have enough time for oral sex."
- Starr Report.
That's a busy man.
John-John is the fantasy, but Puddy is real.
Elaine & Puddy: A Love Story
What if you prompted Google AI to compose a Lewinsky-eating-a-hotdog picture?
Not in my house is John John "beloved." Aside from the good hair that the K men seem to have, there's nothing to like about that klan.
She dated Jake Tapper.
Somewhere in Arkansas, there is an old barn where rests a rusty ‘69 El Camino with Astroturf® lining the truck bed and a tattered bumper sticker warning “NO FAT CHICKS” allowed.
Yeah - but Jussie Smolette build a fake assault hoax and is off the hook.
The left built the russia russia lie - so far -off the hook.
There are actually a lot of interesting things being hidden from us.
What has changed is that X now allows us to ask questions in the public square.
When enough people are able to ask a question they cannot get an answer to interesting things start to happen.
I only remember it as DC People Magazine sold with John John sex appeal. Don’t fly VFR late on a Friday is the lesson…
I saw the article about John Jr and George and the first thought I had was that George was launched at the last period in history (late 90s) when a magazine could be launched. And the photos of people reading the first issue stuck me as quaint. Like people sending telegraphs or smoke signals.
If he'd gotten proper table manners down, John Kasich might have been president. But it's hard to find the happy medium. Eat pizza with knife and fork - bad. Cram pizza into your mouth - also bad.
Rogue? Try rapist. You’ll be calling him a rascal next….
In my experience, Boomers have a much harder time letting go of the ‘90’s than they do the ‘60’s and ‘70’s.
Spy actually did come close to being non-partisan. And they disliked Trump before it was cool. So I forgive them.
Eating the hot dog is also a major challenge, and corn dogs aren't any better. Stick with hamburgers.

Pump up John-John to take down Bobby-Bobby. I wonder if "George" really was "post-partisan." If it was, I'm impressed, given the state of today's partisan media. Navasky may have been thinking that without a partisan edge the magazine would have been worthless, but now almost everything has a partisan edge and not much is worth much.

I finally figured out what the other thing about the Schumer cheeseburger picture was. It wasn't just that he doesn't know how to cook burgers. It was also the meat and milk mixing thing. But now the possibility is raised that perhaps he had never made or eaten a cheeseburger for religious reasons and that it wasn't just stupidity that made him put cheese on the raw burgers.
I liked John John. A pitty he chose to run against Hillary. So weird that plane crash.
Altoids?
Back in my day the thing was creme-de-menthe over ice.
The JFK Jr. crash has the most detailed NTSB report in general aviation history. A very classical analysis of the multiple factors that contributed to his entrance into a graveyard spiral
Rush Limbaugh wrote a piece for the first issue of George. JFKJr was a nice guy.
On Q theory is that JFK Jr. was the secret child of Maria Callas and Aristotle Onassis. Somehow the real JFK Jr. was kidnapped and replaced with a little Greek boy. This little Greek boy grew up into a hunky, but stupid, man, got married and crashed his plane and died. The real JFK Jr. is out there somewhere.
A lot of normal people seem to believe that JFK Jr. was some sort of love child of Jackie O and a random man. I guess it is kind of odd how much more "ethnic" JFK Jr. looked and how much better looking he was than his siblings and cousins (who are kind of ugly).
thats like a Robert Ludlum tale, the Matarese Circle, except it was Corsicans except Greeks, replacing a North Eastern scion,
he seemed to be a member of the family without guile, which is rare,
"Boomers have a much harder time letting go of the ‘90’s "
Boomers finally were in or gaining high power and in control of the institutions. The 90s were what they spent their whole lives working toward. And so represents what they woukd do when they finally had control. Then 9/11 cut that short and changed the conversations. So now they are back to the same distance of power as in the 70s, but waning instead of waxing. And thir last generational gasp is being led by Trump, entirely not heor kind of boomer at all.
A green New Deal. Yeah, that is naive.
I asked grok "make a picture of Monica lewinski eating a banana"
I got a Pic of her with a banana in her mouth with her hand on it. Head tilted back, eyes upraised slight smile.
If it is Joan Smith it is just a girl eating a banana.
If you crop the left side a bit to get rid of furniture and you know it is Monica, it is hard not to see the presidential member.
John Henry
When the news broke of John John’s demise, my Democrat boss looked at me and said, “Another registered Democrat bites the dust, eh, Cracker?”
More felicitous, more ecumenical, days.
"Why is it so difficult to find that caricature of Monica Lewinsky biting into a hot dog?"
I'm beginning to think the most likely reason is that it was never published.
Is "if it's not on the internet, it didn't happen" a valid heuristic? Not even one scan of the actual illustration might be believable (but it's not), there seems to be not even one mention of it indexed anywhere on the entire internet that does not refer back to or originate from that one NYT article. I checked Grok and Google AI mode.
"(For a brief while, America had its own Elena Ferrante in Joe Klein)."
That's possibly the most New York Times sentence ever written in the New York Times.
Ethel and Bobby had the bad genes. Jack and Jackie had the good ones. Jack Schlossberg, JFK Jr.'s nephew, looks like his uncle in some pictures. In others, not so much. Young Schlossberg does at least have his uncle's hair and haircut.
Kennedy was the quintessential evidence that "pretty" and "famous" were the most important qualities in America.
Kennedy was running a failing enterprise even as his fame gave him access to many that were prized "gets'. He was labled "the sexiest man alive". Every (seemingly) woman wanted him.
Here's the facts, he could not pass the bar. He took a private plane into weather with flying experience that in no way indicated he was qualifies. He augured in killing himself, his wife and (IIRC) his sister-in-law.
Oh, screamed the headlines, we've lost our best and brightest.
I can't recall a single news article that called him the knucklehead he was.
Am I the only person here who reads the Daily Mail? I found it immediately. My husband says yes, I am the only person who reads the Daily Mail.
But I'm an insomniac, and in the middle of the night, there's nothing else free to read, and they always have one serious story with legs. The Times doesn't change its coverage until 5a.m., and the only legs being shaved, or not, there are Lena Dunham's.
Oh, and JFK Jr. was an affable dullard with an insane coke-snorting wife. George Magazine was created to give him something to do. It even sucked as an insider's gossip rag.
The Kennedys aren't capable of running a business on a profitable basis. All they are suited for is politics, NGO work, or being rich idlers. The last one of them that could earn was family patriarch Joseph and that was a 100 years ago. George Soros on the other hand isnt much of a politician himself so he buys his influence. Soros is a mirror image of the Kennedys bc all Soros knows is how to earn money.
