To: dead

I always knew that Joseph Kennedy, the Patriarch of the Kennedy clan, who paid for JFK’s access to the White House after his older brother died in the War—with Mayor Daley stacking the votes in Chicago and LBJ in Texas—was a Chicago mobster.

But even mobsters show respect, and have a sense of family honor. I guess the Kennedys never learned that lesson.

To: Cicero
Joseph Kennedy brought his mistress Gloria Swanson into his family home, in front of his children

He ordered his low IQ and rebellious daughter Rosemary to be lobotomized and live the rest of her life as a houseplant, so her sexual acting out would never embarrass him

His wife Rose suffered the indignities of his cruelty like a good Irish Catholic wife, but the children were marked and so are their children. That is the real “curse” of the “golden” Kennedys. That their careless selfish amorality occasionally, randomly, destroys others who come in contact with them
