Another good West Virginia story:
Before the crucial West Virginia primary in 1960, Hubert Humphrey denounced John F. Kennedy as “a millionaire’s son who had never worked a day in his life.”
Kennedy was shaking hands with coal miners in the state one day, when one grizzled old miner held onto his hand and wouldn’t let go. “Is it true you’re a millionaire’s son who never worked a day in your life?” the miner asked.
Kennedy gulped and said, “Yeah, I guess so.”
The miner slapped him on the back and said, “Lemme tell you, son, you ain’t missed a thing.”
