Esp. the way he's always liquored up. At his age and his condition you know there's got to be some sort of puppet-master hidden in the shadows.
affordable liberal housing ping alert???
Shouldn’t Robert Jr have this gas hog torn down?? Course he will just condemn the buyer.

Has it been decontaminated?
I think the more commonly used terms are "two toilet Irish" and "lace curtain Irish".
(I'm Irish so I know this stuff)
I remember when anti gas hog enthusiasts buried their cars. Now, hypocrits and opportunists like Ariana Huffington take no rsponsibility for their sins when they trade in a Navigator on a Prius. RFK Jr et al are busy making laws that houses like this cannot be sold unless they are energy efficient, but, of course, such standards do not apply to them.
You would think RFK Jr would be concerned about Global Warming if his mom’s house burns greenhouse gasses like a Kennedy at a Bourban Factory?? Oh yeah, liberals can’t be hypocrites.

For years the style manuals for newspapers and TV networks have required that these Kennedy properties be referred to as “compounds” and NEVER as “mansions.”
A $3 million new home would be a lot niftier with a lot fewer headaches.
“Set on more than five acres, the 19th-century mansion has 18 rooms, 10½ baths and 12 fireplaces. The property also includes a pool, pool house, tennis court and stables.”
Indeed. And just how much energy did this monster consume while you and your siblings were growing up there, Junior? Are you buying carbon offsets today to make up for any excessive use of energy yesterday? Or since you are a Kennedy, it simply doesn’t matter as it is your due?
LOL!! I was actually at an event there as a child. If I recall, there was a trampoline, which I'd never seen before. I got to go inside one room of the house, sort of like a den. A big den.
That is really a good one , LOL.
Real Estate 101, all real estate markets are local, in the real estate for dummies, one would say there is not a lot of room left in Biscayne Bay, where there are millions of acres in Virginia.
It hasn't sold because it was grossly over priced. They were tying to sell a 1.5 to 2.5 million piece of property at the high price because it once belonged to a Kennedy, in todays world, who's a Kennedy???
And no garage. Don't know about anyone else, but for 12 million, I would expect a place to protect our cars from the elements.
(At the moment, we dont have servants to clear off ice and snow--perhaps you can relate )
I think the selling price was cut because the house is fuzzy.
The great secret of the Kennedy’s is how their fortune earned by rum-runner Joe Kennedy has been depleted over the years.
Their family trust was set up to give many members of the family a piece of the pie, to help insure loyalty. But as the family grew, and their political base expanded, they didn’t pay enough attention to business.
So what was once a financial nest egg comparable to Bill Gates’ today, has been squandered away to just a fraction of its size.
Most Interesting line:
Taxes: $62,079.00
Hmmmm....
That makes me want to see the assessment on this place. Exactly how long have the Kennedy’d enjoyed this massive underassessment/Property Tax Subsidy?
The "Kennedy mystique" can't be factored in. A bank will not lend you more than the assessor assesses the real estate for.
