WASHINGTON (AP) - Rosemary Kennedy, the oldest sister of President John F. Kennedy and the inspiration for the Special Olympics, died Friday. She was 86.

Kennedy, the third child of Rose and Joseph Kennedy, was born mentally retarded and underwent a lobotomy when she was 23. She lived most of her life in a Jefferson, Wis., institution, the St. Coletta School for Exceptional Children.

She died in a Wisconsin hospital with her brother, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, and her sisters at her side, the family said.

Someone needs to post the lyrics to the Ramones' "Teenage Lobotomy". May the Good Lord be kinder to her than her parents were.

Sad to hear. Any Family.

I thought the very same thing when I saw this headline. Amazing that they used the R-word. How un-P.C. That's scary -- are frogs falling from the sky?

Ah, yes. Good ol' Joe, Sr. Lobotomize your daughter and the first your wife hears about it is AFTER you've turned your own flesh and blood into a semi-vegetable. The Kennedys. America's royal family.

She was the only one in the family that was Sane, all the rest are RETARDED!!

Rosemary was mildly originally retarded. The old man had her lobotomized because of her active interest in sex.

What goes round comes round. The old man had a stroke and was a half paralyzed, wheelchair bound mute for 8 years until his death.

You know why she was lobotomize don't you, she had the same sexual desires as the boys and Joe "the nazi loving" father of the killer of Mary Jo Kopence could have that happen.

Could have her get in the family way an embarrass the the family of a boot legger.

Betcha didn't think I could get all the family history in.

And how insensitive that you posted this pic -

What are you - a TOTAL goober?

[ambrose]

Retarded Kennedy dies?? Who do you think Romney will appoint to fill the vacant senate seat?

[Dan19]

Isn't it politically incorrect to use the word "retarded" nowadays? I'm surprised to see that word in print.

[Shortstop7]

What? Where can I read more about this?

I must go do a "google" now..

What goes round comes round. The old man had a stroke and was a half paralyzed, wheelchair bound mute for 8 years until his death.

I hope he finally died painfully; he shouldn't be the only one of the family to go that way.

[Blast_Master]

For God's sake old man.. we know you work at WalMart but really...

[solitas]

Sad to hear. Any Family[?].

No, no family; just relatives - real families don't lobotomize their family members.

[virgil]

God bless her.

[bonfire]

OMG! LOL!

[Libloather]

Yet you post "'Tard' is more catchey". What exactly did you mean by that?
