Another Kennedy scam. The took care of Rosemary with a lobotomy. Now they are destroying Joan Kennedy because she is an embarrassment to the family.
What a bunch of pukes. Teddy is the town drunk. Makes Joan look like a Puritan.

Looks like the kids won again

None of us really knows the facts to pontificate on this one. We should stop.

[I still care]

I read Joan's autobio many years ago. The part that lept out at me was where, while they were separated (or divorced, I can't remember which) Ted decided to run for some office.

He called Joan for help and she came eagerly, working hard on the campaign, playing the supportive wife. She seemed to be of the impression that he wanted her again, talking of getting back together, etc.

The day the campaign ended, he disappeared with his entourage and she didn't even know he had left. It tore her up. She thought he wanted her back. But he just wanted the public to see happy man and wife as long as the campaign was on.

Now making no excuses for an alcoholic woman, and knowing there are two sides always, it still seems that he used her pretty badly.

Is really possible for a court to dissolve a Trust without the approval of the Trustee? I thought Trust were usually iron clad.

[Savage Beast]

These are the role models of the Left.

Lovely. She's not allowed to sell her own house. This is indeed reminiscent of what old Joe did to Rosemary.

[Jimmy Valentine]

Joining the Kennedy family is like joining the Mob. The only way out is death.

Being Ted's wife must have been rough.
