Let's not forget the daughter they had lobotomized. What a tragedy.
Yes, poor Rosemary Kennedy, who it turned out had not been mentally ill at all, but merely rebellious, particularily against the ironfisted rule of Mother Rose. This was enough for the Mother of all Kennedys. In Emmett Tyrrell's grim phrase, Rose "had her lobotomized and parked her with the nuns."
Rosemary died in a Wisconsin convent not long ago. She's in Heaven, now.
Hope she doesn't feel too lonely up there.
