The Kennedy family was an organized crime family.
Joe was the master at public relations.
He created the Kennedy myth.
The guy was amazing—supported the other side during WWII and kept his PR image unscathed.
That is raw genius.
Good old bootlegger, ambassador Joe. But he had a debilitating stroke, was left in a wheel chair and with inability to express himself. He was a prisoner - had to witness 2 sons assassinated, and Teddy drive off a bridge before leaving this earth himself.
