Eunice was the one who shepherded the Special Olympics, and I wondered if she did so in honor of the sister her father had lobotomized all those years ago. Apparently he did that unbeknownst to Rose, and I'm guess the other kids didn't know about it for many years, either. Imagine how horrible that must have been to find out what their father did to their sister.
Old Joe was an abomination. When people talk about all the Kennedy family tragedies I think of the phrase “Sins of the Fathers visited upon their sons” .. he was a ba$tard.
Nonetheless, the K women for all their ‘good works’ were prima donnas who were not quite so great to people under their charge .. just typical Dem hypocrisy that bugs me. You see, it’s different to support unions and workers rights, so long as the worker isn’t a Kennedy employee, in which case said worker is expected to toil under difficult circumstances, suffer temperamental abuses, and receive relatively little financial reward.
