Kennedy family has had enough juice to get a few marriages annulled

"Juice" has nothing to do with it. Tens of thousands of marriages are annulled every year. Applicants are asked to defray the administrative costs of papering and processing the application, which seems hardly unfair, as otherwise the not inconsiderable costs would have to be funded from church assets that could be put to use elsewhere. The notion that annulments are "bought" by the rich has been a myth for at least 50 years. The scandal is not that annullments are "sold", but that so many are granted at all.

Sigh. Not a myth. In Massachusetts the Kennedy clan often gets the annulments it wants. Somehow. Someway. You do the math.
