As if one needed another reason to despise the Kennedys.

Joe Kennedy didn't like the English, but Jack loved them. Go figure. Jack I guess was more assimilated.
Papa Kennedy hid from the blitz, would not stay in London during the bombing. The King and Queen stayed, but he ran. Does that remind us of Teddy?
Kennedy was so disgraced that FDR recalled him and had him met by his (FDR's) mistress, as I recall.
Eleanor kept JFK from running a VP under Stevenson, a man who shot and killed his friend as a boy but never talked about the incident. (No, that's not slander.) Also Stevenson's grades were kept under lock and key because the "intellectual" flunked out. Ha. Another brain like Gore who managed to flunk divinity school.
EXCELLENT point! So glad you brought that up!
