Pity the letters don't disclose what she thought of her useless, lard ass youngest son...

She would have, but couldn't think of his name.

Just too bad she didn't have a better opportunity to abort a few of those leeches she bore.

Or what she thought of her law-breaking, womanizing, Nazi sympathizing husband.

She was a disciplinarian as well.

And it didn't come close to working.

Interesting thing about liberals. They don't understand that results actually count for something.

From heads of state to...

Will we ever know the truth about poor Rosemary Kennedy, whom Mother Rose had lobotomized?

Not bloody likely, mate.

I guess we know where they got their love of socialism from.

I would have been fascinated to find out what would have happened had JFK never been assassinated. Would he have turned into another Jimmy Carter, or would he have led the democrats into the future with a pro-American, anti-Communist, anti-terrorist bent? Sad to say, but it would have been interesting to see an elderly JFK on CNN, berating his fellow party members about the WOT.

Look at the sheila in the left-hand bottom corner of the BJ/Lewinsky photo. Is that Sindy Shehen?

"When the children needed to be spanked, I often used a ruler — and sometimes a coat hanger which was often more convenient because in any room there would be a closet and the hangers in them would be right at hand," she said in a letter dictated in 1972.

"Of course," it continued, "the children would sometimes anticipate what was coming and stuff their trousers with a pillow so I am not sure the spankings had much lingering effect."

I suspect Tedward was the one sticking pillows down his pants to lighten the consequences of his actions.

A world-class enigma, that woman... How interesting, the banal details of her disciplinary habits! /s

Memoirs of the idle rich are generally vacuous. As if Teresa.. er "Rose" had anything interesting to offer the general public.

My grandmother used to live around the corner from her when she lived on Moon Street in the north end of Boston. Said she was a clam...She actually used that term.
I was shocked.

You forgot slumlording and pimping. The Kennedy fortune was accumulated by some disgusting behavior. And the one that's left, the one that stood on his girlfriend's shoulders to get out of the sinking car, the one who waited until he made an appointment to play tennis and consulted with his lawyers before calling for help, is continuing this long tradition.

Unfazed, Rose Kennedy wrote back: "Dear Jack: I am so glad you warned me about contacting heads of state as I was just about to write to Castro."

Ok .. I laughed at that one *L*

It would be fascinating to know what would have happened if JFK's father had not succeeded in stealing the 1960 election, and Nixon had taken office. No Vietnam debacle, for one thing. Nixon would have followed Ike's advice (ignored by JFK) to bomb the Laotian trails that the North was using to infiltrate South Vietnam, and he would have refrained from committing a major US troop presence, something Ike warned against.

I'm willing to give JFK the benefit of the doubt, despite his philandering, stealing the 1960 election, and possible mob ties.

He was the last real Democrat, that's for sure.

Gosh, Rose Kennedy accomplished so much that we ought to make a great wonderful park over land formerly privately owned and taken by eminent domain from working people and name it after her.
