This woman was at most difficult to handle and probably mentally ill. On her father's orders she underwent a lobotomy and when it was badly botched, shipped out of town. One author has suggested an incestuous relationship between Joe and his daughter being at the root of her behaviors.
The Kennedy spin machine cooked up the Special Olympics as a "mental retardation" cover story and Eunice Shriver ran the show.
If Fatboy was at her bedside when she died I'll wager he was with his friends Haig and Haig.
America is tired of the Kennedys.
The Kennedys have had more than their share of tragedy. I sympathize with them, but on the other hand, Joe Sr. built his empire on blood money, bootlegging and gambling....what goes around, comes around.
The Kennedy family is a criminal enterprise. Bootleggers, drug-addicts, murdeders and rapists in three generations.
'This woman was at most difficult to handle...'
She was probably turning out to be a staunch Republican Conservative.
She's died about as many times as Arabfat.
I'd never even heard of Rosemary and her story until a few years ago. A friend who was a big Kennedy fan never told me about her, either. To the general public, she was as much a "non-person" as the cases you hear about in the Soviet Union.
Thing is, Rosemary was an adult when all this happened. You have to wonder how the operation could even take place without her consent. The tragedy and the shame of it is that the decision was made to proceed so that she wouldn't be an embarassment to her family.
I can't imagine Rosemary could possibly be more of one than her dad, Teddy, and a few other notables from that bunch.
the Terry Schiavo of her day?
Typical liberals.
They claim to be compassionate, but their version of compassion is to label everyone and stick them in a box, or in Rosemary's case, give her a lobotmy and stick her in a hospital her whole life.
How many mentally challenged people can still be productive and happy members of society? It is too bad that chance was stolen from Rosemary by liberal 'compassion'.
Read some time ago that ole Joe, the crook, caught his wife away and signed the papers for the lobotomy. When Rose found out, she never forgave him.
I'm tired of hearing about the criminal, liberal leftists no-good Kennedys.
"Our sister Rosemary has gone today to be with God."
This is probably the truest statement the Kennedy crime syndicate has ever released. This poor woman was lobotomized by the founder of the criminal empire for the convenience of political reasons. Whatever their personal lives are like, all the Kennedy women suffer for the curse of having to live and be related to the pigs that compose the male half of the clan. It's not wonder they are always cycling through various spin-dry rehabs for the habits they develop coping with the 'important' members of the mob.
At the least, Rosemary is free of these swine.
Me thinks they lobotomized the wrong Kennedy.
Just proves the Kennedys are scum.
I've always wondered why/how that family could be so damned retarded.
Amazing...someone picked Rosemary Kennedy during Howie Carr's 'Death Pool' segment on Friday's show. Whoever picked her needs to head for Vegas while the gettin's good.
Truth be known...difficult to justify... would be the more accurate answer.
Old Joe the Bootlegger was afraid his slightly incompetent daughter was an embarrassment to his own political ambitions, which he chose to live through his sons.
He was a rotten to core gangster who paid for his ambassador role to Great Britain, in 1938, under the Roosevelt administration.
It is true, he became president of a bank at around age 25....Roosevelt actually made him chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, in 1933
This was a very smart man...but a very dark soul. JFK was not his first choice for the ultimate office...his firstborn, Joe Jr. was actually being groomed for the office.
Both the older son's disobeyed their father's strong advice...and volunteered for active duty. Unfortunately, a true hero fell during WWII, when his plane exploded over the English Channel.
Joe Kennedy was a piece of shit. His unfortunate daughter was the result of his own personal ambitions.
rant off.

May she now find the peace that she didn't have on earth.
