Icon-oclast

Back in the day, the "Queen" of Kennedy's Camelot dissed the "King" of the Civil Rights Movement. CBS News has tapes where Jackie Kennedy says to historian Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. that Martin Luther King, Jr. is "tricky," "phony," and "terrible."

What will Democrats do with this icky situation where one of their icons criticizes another? Mostly ignore it as you would if a dowager farted at a tea party. See this CBS News story for details.
