Michael Hopcroft Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Stephen Sondheim's musical Assassins has been on frequent play lately -- probably not a good thing in the current political climate. Assassins is a pageant-like show profiling several of the people who killed, or attempted to kill, American Presidents. Like Charles Guiteau: Charles Guiteau was a delusional political wannabe who believed he had played a central role in helping Republican candidate James Garfield win the 1880 Presidental election. In reutrn he sought a consulship in France from the new President, who wanted nothing to do with him. So on July 2, 1881, Guiteau walked up the President at a Washington train station and fired two shots into his stomach. With competent care, Garfield would have survived. He did not have competent care. A long string of doctors, each worse than the last, treated the President for three agonizing months, trying to find the elusive second bullet. he finally died in agony is September.As for Guiteau, the evidence suggests severe schizophrenia to a modern eye. Nonetheless, he was considered sane enough (despite bizarre behavior at the trial) to be convicted and sentenced to death. He was hanged June 30, 1882, almost a year after he shot the President. The next year Garfield's successor signed the Civil Service Act, establishing a professional civil service and reducing the number of positions filled by Presidential appointment. Leon Czolgosz, a committed anarchist who killed William McKinley in 1901 (again poor medical care contributed to the President's death), also appears in the show. Like Guiteau Colgosz was clearly mentally ill, and like Guiteau he was executed anyway -- only 45 days after McKinley's death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fundamental assumption of the musical is that all of the assassins (and attempted assassins) are mentally ill, and that ultimately, their actions don't really matter. The country goes on.

The country goes on. Which may be a valid point. Political murder does require a certain disconnect from reality. It is also something that disgusts Americans more than it disgusts people in most other nations. In some parts of the world former office holders (including the recently deposed) face execution at the hands of those who replace them for misdeeds in office, real or imagined. Such a thing is unthinkable to Americans. And you never seem to get the change you want when you try it. Killing John Kennedy did not prevent the Vietnam debacle or ease American paranoia over Castro. The death of James Garfield meant the beginning of the end for the time-honored Spoils System of a government run nearly to-to-bottom by political appointees like the type Guiteau aspired to become..John Wilkes Booth's actions actually replaced Lincoln's goal of post-war reconciliation with a desire for revenge on the South.
