That was the expression Thorne used when rich boy got the annullment. THK insisted on the annullment as part of her Catholic upbringing and to keep John boy's prenup. Thorne was exceptionally disturbed that Kerry had deligitimized their wedding and basically made bastards out of his children.
Why?
That was a legitimate question.
Ted Kennedy and Robert Kennedy did the same thing - annulled the marriage after children already arrived.
It doesn't square.
Although Trick may have been a little, uh, crude in the way he stated it, I do wonder about the status of the girls. An 'annulment' means the marriage never existed. So what would the status of the two girls be as far as the RC is concerned? I don't know.
Nothing wrong with Ricky's statement. Annulment makes it as if the marriage never were, so any children therefrom are indeed illegitimate.
I agree. We don't want to come off like the DU's ...
