BOSTON (AP) — New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu has been named the 2018 winner of the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for his leadership in removing four Confederate monuments in the city.

The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation announced Tuesday that in addition to taking the monuments down, Landrieu offered "clear and compassionate reflections on the moment and its place in history."

Unbelievable. Yet, it's not. It's sad, though.

He wrote a book, or had a book ghostwritten, titled "Profiles in Courage".

JFK actually a badass when his PT-109 was ripped in half in the pacific. For being a soft rich boy he showed some balls that day

They could make it from all the Mardi Gras beads they pulled out of the neglected storm drain system after the city flooded.
