It may not make for good conspiracy theory fodder, but a sunken Kennedy boat sure has a certain ring to it.

River Maiden, a 59-foot steel boat registered to Max Kennedy, son of the late Sen. Robert Kennedy, sank into the north slip of Lake Michigan between Rainbow Beach and the Calumet River on June 12, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.

It's still there.

No. But crates of rum and scotch were. What a tragic waste.

Don't worry, I am sure they were empty, its the Kennedy's we're talking about here...

Of course it does still make it a tragic waste doesn't it...

[Mr. K]

Kennedy's are a perfect example of too much money and not enough brains.

The Kennedy’s—can’t drive, can’t fly, can’t pilot ships or boats

Can't ski either, at least when trees are around.

[GOPsterinMA]

No doubt!

Yell at the boat, “Don’t you know who I am?!”

[stylin19a]

It took almost 3 months to report this ?

***No. But crates of rum and scotch were. What a tragic waste.***

Reminds me of an old movie called WHISKEY GALORE.

I can thank God every day I was not born into that family.

Joe Kennedy, the father, was such an evil sh*t that I think they have bad karma going out til the resurrection.

[Psalm 144]

“Of course it does still make it a tragic waste doesn’t it...”

It does. Pearls before swine.

[ScottinVA]

Don’t ride with a Kennedy at the wheel... ever.

That’s the moral to THAT story.

>>Fodder for today’s Howie Carr show?

Could be! Thanks, pinging

[Hillbillary]

Just a ghost relic of Kennedy past.

[elpadre]

How large was the insurance policy??

“No. But crates of rum and scotch were. What a tragic waste”

...wrong. A Kennedy would NEVER allow that. Drinking is all they know how to do.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

“”This is strictly Max Kennedy’s issue,” McCaffery said. “It’s floating on top (of the water) but upside down.”

Kennedy, who could not be reached for comment, flew in from Los Angeles as soon as he heard the boat had capsized to ensure there was no “environmental leakage of any sort,” McCaffery said. He added that he heard Kennedy ordered a barge to lift the boat out of the water around Labor Day.

“I really think it’s under control,” McCaffery said, “but it has taken a bit too long.”

Howie is at his absolute best whenever he discusses the Kennedys! (and John Effin' Kerry, of course)

;-)

And earlier this week, Howie raved about FreeRepublic.

Life is good!

D@mn shame it didn’t take the whole corrupt Kennedy clan with it; including the girly-man governator of CA.

I love that picture, but it's been debunked as related to JFK.

It's from a Playboy photospread in the sixties about naked chicks on a yacht. The JFKish looking dude is just some guy on a boat.

You can tell it's not a Kennedy boat, because the chicks are still alive.

Oh that's a regular thing for Howie Carr... he always mentions FR and gives full credit if he finds something juicy there. Whereas we all know Rush uses FR for show prep (at least sometimes), but he rarely mentions it... ;-)
