Memo to Caroline Kennedy: Stop trying to force your son on America
NY Post ^ | 8-9-17 | Maureen Callahan

Posted on 08/09/2017 9:39:40 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

On Tuesday, New York magazine published an essay by a 24-year-old law student who recently paddleboarded around Manhattan for the first time.

“I signed up for the race because I thought it sounded cool,” writes our participant. “Of course, when I asked around, everyone said it was really hard and I’d better start training.”

The smugness, the entitlement, the painfully obvious observation — one might wonder: Who cares?

Until you look at the byline and realize: Oh, of course. Another Kennedy foisted upon us.

Our diarist is none other than Jack Schlossberg, grandson of JFK, son of Caroline, accomplishment-free save for that 25-mile race around Manhattan — which he curiously notes he lives “on” rather than “in.”

This semi-self-deprecating essay is juxtaposed with 14 portraits of Jack in black-and-white on his big day, muscular and shirtless and smiling, just one of the guys. He resembles no one so much as his late Uncle John F. Kennedy Jr., who, until his untimely death in 1999, was the Kennedy family’s last last great hope.

Is anyone asking for this?

The Kennedys - Boston’s answer to White Trash. At least he doesn’t have the traditional Kennedy Beaver style buck teeth.

In the post photo he looks somewhat like Anthony Weiner, only younger and in a wig. His mother...that dress...that HAS to be photoshopped. She didn’t wear that. No one could.

I don’t think a white guy is going to get nominated for national office on the Dem ticket, no matter what his name.

And do they gladly turn over half the family wealth every version through inheritance taxes like they want everyone else to do? Nope. I doubt one penny has been paid since old Joe made the money.

At least the Bushes went out with class. Jeb might’ve lacked charisma and be a tool of cheap labor express, but at least he seemed like a decent guy. Same with George.

The Bushes were classless with their refusal to endorse Trump. And Bush 41 said he was voting for Hillary. The Bush family was a disaster for this country. And they destroyed Reagan's legacy.

Jeb didn't even keep his pledge to support the GOP nominee.

Sorry, I missed the story, right after the bright floral elephant tent popped up with Caroline’s head screwed on top.

No kidding. I recently traveled to Boston with my 15 year old son. Logan is festooned with numerous huge banners of Teddy. My son has been up-armored since he was little against liberalism, but needless to say I administered a crash course on the spot on what low lifes the Kennedys are, particularly The late “Lion of the Senate.”.

Last line of the article: “...if the Kennedys truly believe in public service, they should consider their withdrawal from our politics their last great contribution.”

BAM!!

“Paddleboarding ?”

A Kennedy enhanced interrogation technique,followed up with a waitress sandwich.

That story was pathetic, with all kinds of professional photos in black and white, shot to evoke a military man making a beach landing.

He was paddle boarding. Around Manhattan.

Speaking as a once die hard “bushie” I wholeheartedly agree. I detest them now.

They showed their true colors with their treatment of Trump. They are really Democrats disguised as Reps. Laura and the twins are out and out liberals.

Just before Ted died I read an article titled Where Is The Kennedy Fortune?

Seems that the drunkard spent his last years moving the bulk of the family fortune off shore.
No taxes paid on that money.
