Yeah, I feel sorry for Chelsea’s beginnings and youth too. She must have heard all about her dad and decided through cognitive dissonance not to believe a word. And having a mom who probably lied about everything must have been disconcerting. “Mommy, why weren’t you at my birthday party?” “Oh, (cackle cackle) I was there, Chelsea! You just didn’t see me. I was behind Grandma over there by that tree!” You know she lied to her all the time.
There is a documentary running on the REELZ channel that is all about the Kennedys. It has done the impossible.
It actually made me feel SORRY for Teddy Kennedy.
In the segment on Rosemary Kennedy’s lobotomy they quoted a Kennedy biographer said Teddy told him in an interview that as a child he feared that if he disobeyed his dad Joe would have him lobotomized too.
That’s real Mommy Dearest/Nightmare on Elm Street stuff.
