Ted Kennedy’s life gave us a good idea of what his brothers would have become had they lived into old age.

Imagine John F. Kennedy as an aging, divorced satyr during the 1990s, kept half-alive from Addison’s Disease by quack treatments.

Imagine Robert F. Kennedy morphing into an inflexible social liberal, marching in gay pride parades, advocating abortion on demand as a father of ten, and blaming America on CNN right after 9/11.

The Camelot myth could not possibly have been made if they had lived to become the shambolic bog Irish they always were.
