Random thought vanity on John F. Kennedy, Jr
14 May 2016 | ResisTyr

Posted on 05/14/2016 11:09:58 AM PDT by ResisTyr

Just a random thought for the day...I believe there's a good possibility that had JFK, Jr. not died, he may very well have become POTUS by now...or possibly be Trump's opponent this time around.

It fascinates me that Uncle Ted moved heaven and earth to locate the deep-sea remains, only to have the three cremated and buried at sea, despite the wishes of the Bessette sisters.

All post script...He didn’t run. He showed no love of politics.

Remember the Clinton administration had the U.S. Navy spend millions of dollars to find the sunken plane and recover the bodies. Just so they could throw the bodies back into the ocean. Huh? Never could understand that one.

Poor Rosemary was a good Kennnedy so the old man locked her away after her lobotomy.

Old Joe was truly evil.

JFK Jr. was as dumb as a bag of hammers.

That's not even close to being true. You don't know what you're talking about.

He graduated high school from Phillips Academy Andover which is one of the toughest high schools in the US. I know that because I have a daughter at Andover now.

He got a degree from Brown -- another tough school.

He got a law degree.

No matter how much political pull one has, you don't graduate from Andover and Brown if you are as dumb as a bag of hammers.

At least he was smart enough to reject politics. I think he kne he wanted no part of it- but the establishment would be eager to use him.

Wasn’t she basically Ari Onassis’ “Beard”.

I've read numerous Kennedy bios, and several Ari books. He wanted her as a "trophy" wife, because he craved the publicity. She wanted his money, and the privacy he could provide for her and her kids. At least on her terms, anyway. When she wanted publicity, she got it, when she wanted privacy, she stayed on Skorpios or the yacht, and Ari could guarantee that privacy.

I've never seen any indication that Ari or her fooled around when they were married. All indications that they cared for one another. Did they really love one another? Who knows? But she sure did like the money.

Ari just went to pieces when his son (Alexander) was killed in a plane crash in 1973. Heavy drinking, etc. He died in 1975. Jackie squeezed $25 million out of Christina as a settlement to the estate.

I’m glad that he’s not president.

I actually thought all these years that his plane crash was an accident.

Now I wonder.

Legacy can graduate from Andover with mush for brains.

Same for Brown.

Did he speak any better than his idiot sister? Don’t think I ever heard him interviewed; only saw him grinning a lot in photo ops.

I'm pretty sure it was Ted Kennedy that made SURE that there was no autopsy, and only a cursory "investigation" of the crash.

He didn't want a fellow Kennedy to get bad publicity, even after death.

They are only a couple of generations from comfortable middle class. In 100 years, there will be direct descendants of Joe Kennedy making the median income.

DEMOCRAT politics. The Democrat party is the party of Marxist baby-murderers, so they are also the party of campaigns aimed directly at the stupid and wicked.

Jackie was buried from St. Ignatius on Park Ave. Naturally, her Jewish shack-up was a lector at her funeral.
