Sins of the father. The Kennedy's had everything to be grateful about. Why are they all so corrupt? My opinion, Joe Kennedy. He was rich and a complete fool. So his ambition got two of his son's assassinated and various other offspring imprisoned, dead of drug overdose, or involved in scandals and "rehab". Compare other families..say the Buckleys. It's Joe's fault.

Teddy is only continuing the rum-running of his father.
Except he runs his rum in his liver and his belly.

Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy's father, the former Mayor of Boston, John Fitzgerald, did not like Joe Kennedy, thought him to be 'trash'....sent his daughter to Europe to get her away from him....but alas.....she married him anyways...

Kennedys=White Trash.

I've read a lot of books about the Kennedys and the overriding theme in that family is that they are special and the rules that apply to everyone else don't apply to them. A problem with man's law gets fixed with money or political pressure. A problem with God's law gets fixed with a donation and a special dispensation from the Church. They've never quite figured out how to get around the laws of physics, however, so Bobby's son Michael had to pay for playing touch football on the way down a ski slope.

You left off "lobotomized".

I heard they started as bootleggers?

Bible says sins of the father are paid for up to the 4th generation.. Kennedys have a long way to go

[mmercier]

Us massholes know all about how the kennedy crime empire was built. My question is how can it be demolished given our current political state...?

I am thinking we will have to suffer these kennedy pigs until we are all forced to learn farsi or die.

Abe Lincoln once said you can fool some of the people all of the time, or All of the people some of the time, but you cant fool all of the people all of the time.

In Massachusetts the Kennedy's have fooled enough Massachusetts voters for long enough to have established a legacy of rapine,womanising,corruption,lies and criminal misconduct, second to no other family in the history of the United States. And still these people vote them back in office. God help the decent people of Massachusetts for they are outnumbered by the fools that empower assholes like the Kennedy's.

There are so many biographies about the Kennedy family, and you could hold 24 hour TV marathons using all the made-for-TV Kennedy family movies.:)

But from everything I've read about them, I agree with you that old Joe Kennedy, the founding father, was terribly flawed and it passed on like a curse from him. Hubris barely begins to describe it. And Rose, who did leave him for a few weeks after Jack's birth, was sent back to him by her father and eventually worked out her own way of surviving.

Just after John Kennedy was elected President, Harry Truman was speaking to some students at Harvard. One of them asked, "What are we going to do in January, when the Pope will be in the White House?" Truman replied, "It's not the Pope I'm afraid of, it's the Pop."

Let's not forget the daughter they had lobotomized. What a tragedy.

Here is a great site with interesting documentation. Peruse the history and then fgo tothe homepage for more Kennedy information.

The Uthurian dynasty -- it carries into this day.

There are already more politically successful Bushs than there are Kennedy's.

That evil old man and his BIL Honey are seeing the results of their evil from Hell.

There won't be peace in that family until there is no Kennedy blood in politics.

This book has a GREAT chapter on that family of oil barons and windfarm-fighters,
